Tan Through Fabric

Swimwear made from Tan-Through Fabric is a game changer. It offers the perfect style and fit of beautiful swimwear, plus the added benefits of less visible tan lines, vitamin D absorption, and built-in UV protection.

BENEFITS OF TAN THROUGH FABRIC

VITAMIN D absorption

UV absorption is vital for producing vitamin D, essential for multiple functions. UVB rays trigger a reaction in the skin, producing vitamin D, which is activated by the liver and kidneys. This nutrient supports strong bones by aiding calcium absorption, preventing osteoporosis and rickets. Additionally, it bolsters the immune system, helps fight infections, reduces inflammation, and enhances mood and overall vitality, showcasing the holistic benefits of responsible UV exposure.

LESS CHEMICALS

Unlike sunscreens and lotions, the UV protection in our tan-through swimwear is built-in and remains constant, never rubbing or washing off in the water. This reduces the need for sunscreen under your swimwear, helping to minimise the amount of sunscreen that enters the ocean. By cutting down on these chemical pollutants—such as oxybenzone and octinoxate, which are known to harm coral reefs and disrupt marine ecosystems—you’re making a choice that’s better for both you and the environment.

REDUCE SKIN DAMAGE

By covering the skin with tan through fabric, they help reduce the risk of overexposure to harmful UV rays, minimising sunburn and long-term skin damage. This protection helps prevent premature ageing, such as wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of skin elasticity, keeping your skin healthier and more youthful. With tan-through clothing, you can achieve a natural tan while safeguarding your skin from the harsh effects of the sun. It’s a win-win for your style and skin health!

Frequently Asked Questions

Does tan through swimwear really work?

Yes! Our tan through swimwear is crafted from revolutionary, patented fabric that provides UV protection with built-in SPF. The fabric is scientifically designed to allow a controlled amount of UV rays to pass through, enabling tanning while blocking harmful rays that can cause burning.

How Does Tan Through Fabric Work?

Yes! Our fabric is meticulously engineered with thousands of micro holes that allow a precise amount of UV-A and UV-B rays to pass through to the skin.

These micro holes enable up to 20% of UV-A rays, which are essential for tanning, to penetrate the fabric. Simultaneously, the fabric blocks approximately 90% of harmful UV-B rays, permitting only 10% to initiate the tanning process without causing burns.

This advanced design provides a protective filtering effect equivalent to SPF 8-10. Unlike traditional sunscreens that can rub off or wash away, our fabric's protection remains constant and reliable, ensuring that you do not burn through the material and eliminating the need for additional sun cream underneath.

What tanning results can I expect?

All skin types are unique and will tan differently, so results may vary. However, there are a few key points to keep in mind:

When used correctly, you should not experience any discomfort or skin burning.
To achieve a noticeable darkening of your skin's colour, it's important to wear the swimwear for a prolonged amount of time.
For best results, spend a reasonable number of hours in bright sunlight early in your holiday.

With continued exposure each day, your skin will gradually develop a golden-brown suntan.

Do I need to wear sunscreen under the swimwear?

Our fabric acts as a UV barrier, so there is no need to apply sun cream or lotion underneath, as this may interfere with the fabric's effectiveness.

PLEASE NOTE:

We recommend avoiding sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m., as over 50% of the day's UV rays are emitted during this time.

Some of the hems and seams are doubled over, such as the crotch, panelling, seams and strings therefore the suns rays cannot penetrate through these areas.

The fabric needs to be flush against the skin for best results.

DISCLAIMER: Results will vary depending on individual usage and skin type.

IS IT REALLY SAFE TO WEAR IN THE SUN?

Yes, it is safe. Our tan-through fabric is made with a special polyester/polyamide yarn that specifically controls UV wavelengths. The fabric is designed to almost completely absorb the harmful Ultra Violet-B (UV-B) rays, which are responsible for causing sunburn. Meanwhile, it selectively allows the less harmful Ultra Violet-A (UV-A) rays, which are responsible for tanning, to pass through to the skin. This selective transmission helps you achieve a safer suntan.
