Personal care products information provider Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced it is partnering with SunHealth Solutions to provide free samples of SunSignals UV Sensors on Huggies Little Swimmers disposable swimpants packages beginning in April 2006.
The patented SunSignals UV Sensors will provide parents an easy and reliable way to detect and monitor their children's exposure to Ultraviolet B ("UVB") radiation, the type of UV radiation that causes sunburn and is most commonly linked to skin cancer.
"They're delighted to be partnering with SunHealth Solutions on this exclusive product promotion, which promises to enhance the prevention of children's skin being over exposed to the Sun's UV rays while they are in and around the water," said Bob Thibault, President of Kimberly-Clark's Child Care business.
"By making the SunSignals UV Sensors available to the 6-plus million children who wear Huggies Little Swimmers, K-C is extending its commitment to deliver innovative solutions that enhance the health, hygiene and well-being of people everywhere, every day."
SunSignals UV Sensors are small, self-adhesive patches that can be applied easily to a child's skin or clothing.
As a child's exposure to the sun increases, the SunSignals sensor changes color from yellow to deep orange and the little sun designs within the sensor disappear, signaling that it's time to take protective action, such as apply more sunscreen, put on protectiveclothing or seek shade.
