French company Ker Sun oversees every key stage of its production.

Is this product suitable for my skin type?

They help reduce UV exposure during outdoor activities, supporting a safer and more confident experience in the sun.

Our sun protective expertise has allowed us to develop fabrics that filter UV rays mechanically. Thanks to the meticulous choice of textile fibers, their optimized density and our advanced weaving techniques, we guarantee a UPF 50+ protection, without added sunscreens, which persists throughout the life of the product, even after many washes.

Do I need to apply sunscreen underneath my UPF 50+ clothing?

With Ker Sun sun protective clothing and accessories, there’s no need to apply sunscreen on covered areas.

However, for full protection, it’s important to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin. We recommend applying sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying every two hours or after swimming, in accordance with the instructions for the product you’re using.

Which certification or standard does this product meet for sun protection?

This garment is certified UPF 50+, providing you with the highest level of sun protection. Every fabric, regardless of color, undergoes rigorous testing under the European standard EN 13758-1 for each new production run, ensuring maximum, reliable, and safe protection.

What sets a Ker Sun UPF 50+ clothing apart from regular ready-to-wear clothing?

Ker Sun's UPF 50+ clothing does more than dress you: it effectively shields you from sun-related risks. This protection is built on three pillars:

  1. Exceptional sun protection: Our clothes are made from UPF 50+ certified fabrics. This long-lasting protection creates a permanent barrier against UV rays, going far beyond what standard ready-to-wear clothing can offer.
  2. Optimal coverage for reinforced protection: Each Ker Sun piece is thoughtfully designed to protect the most sun-exposed areas (arms, neck, hands, face, chest, legs etc.) while maintaining elegance and everyday ease of use.
  3. Maximum comfort, even in hot weather: Designed with heat in mind, our breathable, lightweight fabrics and airflow-friendly cuts help keep you cool while staying shielded from UV rays.

Conventional ready-to-wear clothing, which isn’t designed for sun protection, consistently lacks these benefits. At Ker Sun, our mission centers on creating garments that truly defend you from the sun, allowing everyone to enjoy outdoor activities with peace of mind.

Ker Sun alongside dermatologists and healthcare professionals since 2021

We work with more than 900 dermatologists in France and across Europe to raise awareness about the risks associated with UV exposure and to encourage the adoption of effective photoprotection habits.
Our clothing is designed as UPF 50+ certified Personal Protective Equipment, providing reliable textile protection against ultraviolet radiation.

A brand committed to sun protection

Ker Sun is deeply committed to sun protection.

In partnership with dermatologists, associations, and public health stakeholders, we actively participate in prevention campaigns, financially support initiatives, and create educational materials.

Beyond our clothing, we are wholeheartedly dedicated to an optimistic mission of education and awareness to protect everyone's health, without resorting to alarmism.
