The Skin Cancer Foundation has given Vapor Apparel’s line of Solar shirts its Seal of Recommendation.
This means that this line of shirts meets the foundation’s criteria for effective UV sun protection. To earn the Seal of Recommendation, a manufacturer must provide scientific data showing that its product sufficiently and safely aids in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin. The data is reviewed by a volunteer committee of photobiologists – experts in the study of the interaction between ultraviolet radiation and the skin.
Brandon Barber, director of manufacturing at Vapor Apparel, said: “We are extremely pleased to be making this announcement. Our customers in North America and Europe have another reason to recommend our products to their most discerning clients.”
Debroah S. Sarnoff, MD, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation, said: “Clothing is the first line of defence against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays and an important part of a complete sun protection regimen.
“We’re happy to welcome another great clothing brand to the Seal of Recommendation programme, our flagship consumer education initiative.”
This is another positive event for a product that is growing the market for sublimation printers.
