Product Description

The SunFriend is the first customizable activity monitor that helps you manage how much sun you get in any given day as part of a healthier lifestyle. Did you know that when you block the sun from reaching your skin, you prevent beneficial ultraviolet B from penetrating, which is what your body needs to make vitamin D. The same goes when you cover up completely. And vitamin D deficiency is at a pandemic level. In the United States, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 1 in 5 people will get skin cancer-despite the increased use of sunscreens. Our solution is to get Safer Sun Time by wearing UVA+B SunFriend. To use, simply set your personal skin color and sensitivity. The SunFriend reads your UV exposure throughout the day-from sun and reflected surfaces, both indoors and out. We recommend setting your sensitivity between 1 and 4 until you get familiar with your choice. When all the LEDs light up and start flashing, you've had your safe amount of UV for the day. If you see any skin reddening after all the LED's have lit up, you know to set your SunFriend at a lower number the following day. SunFriend is waterproof to 3 meters, so it's beach friendly. UVA+B SunFriend empowers people to reduce their skin damage while optimizing their vitamin D. More people are taking charge of their own health. SunFriend empowers people to enjoy the healthy benefits of the sun more safely.

  • Helps you optimize vitamin D from the sun while preventing overexposure

Best for fair skinned folks
by tiggertiffin87 (5 out of 5 stars)

This works great. As a fair skinned redhead I have to apply sunscreen ALL THE TIME. And I hate it. So now I can put this on, get the smallest amount of a tan and my Vitamin D and not get burned. This is the best invention ever!

Arrived as specified and package well. I am already using this item an it works great. I do yard work and if I am in the sun to long I wan to know. I wish it would have a beep sound when you have maxed out your uv time.

This was a Christmas gift I purchased for my very fair-skinned daughter - we live in South Carolina and she was very pleased with the size and functionality of the SunFriend.

Terrific for those who need to keep an eye on exposure. The settings are very easy to use and it has worked perfectly every time. Just a glance every now and then and you can easily see if you have reached your limit.

I highly recommend this product to anyone concerned about overexposure to the sun!

great idea, well executed

This great device allows you to keep track of your sun exposure in a hassle-free way - no more watching the clock for re-application....or forgetting to re-apply before it's too late! I ordered the orange faced version, as it seemed the most 'summery' to me - and it goes great with my bright summer wardrobe.

Vitamin D supplementation and sunscreen use done smart.
by 2discover (5 out of 5 stars)
May 29, 2014

I bought this item mostly to manage my vitamin D intake. Now I know exactly when to start applying sunscreen, and the days when Vit. D supplementation is necessary.

It is super easy to use, and the information is right there on your wrist. No need to check an iPad or phone. Just check the lights on your SunFriend and you know when it is time to get out of the sun.

Finding my skin sensitivity was pretty straightforward, but takes a little trial and errors. 1 being ultra sensitive skin and 11 not sensitive at all never get sunburned.

I think it is useful to know that SunFriends calculates your Vit. D and UVs based on the fact that your face, arms and part of your legs would be exposed to the sunlight. I always wear sunscreen on my face (make up or hydrating cream) and I like to wear pants so I crank the sensitivity up one number. (instead of a 5, I would be a 6).

I NEVER had a sun burn since I am wearing it, but I haven't been under tropical sun yet with it.

Afraid of the sun no more, less messy sunscreen, less Vit. D to buy, this thing pays for itself.

This item is useless because it does not adjust for the amount of ...
by Kristine (2 out of 5 stars)

The monitor does not adjust for the amount of skin that is exposed or the amount of clothing covering your skin, so you get only a rough idea of the vitamin D etc that your skin is receiving. I hear the company is coming out with a next generation that will have an app to help make these calculations. I look forward to that one.
