According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, sunburns during childhood can increase the probability of an individual getting skin cancer later in life by 50 percent.
"Children enjoy having fun in the sun, but their delicate skin is extremely susceptible to sunburn and sun damage," said Tom Laughlin, president of SunHealth Solutions.
"SunSignals alert parents when their kids are reaching a 'danger zone' of UVB radiation and when they should take the appropriate measures to ensure their children avoid receiving potentially harmful and sometimes painful sunburns."
Kimberly-Clark launched a new segment in infant/child care with the introduction in 1998 of Huggies Little Swimmers disposable swimpants as an extension of its well-known Huggies brand.
The innovative swimpants protect children in the water without swelling like diapers and feature tear-away sides that make changing easier.
First launched in North America, Little Swimmers swimpants are now marketed in over 50 countries around the world.
Kimberly-Clark and its well known global brands are an indispensable part of life for people in more than 150 countries.
Every day, 1.3 billion people – nearly a quarter of the world's population – trust K-C brands and the solutions they provide to enhance their health, hygiene and well-being. With brands such as Kleenex, Scott, Huggies, Pull-Ups, Kotex andDepend, Kimberly-Clark holds the No. 1 or No. 2 share position in more than 80 countries.
Privately-held SunHealth Solutions, LLC is a sun care consumer products company based in Naples, Florida.
The company manufacturers the new SunSignals UV Sensors, a patented, thin, easy-to-use self-adhesive patch that can reliably monitor exposure to the most dangerous type of radiation – ultraviolet B (UVB) – that causes sunburn and is most linked to skin damage and skin cancer.
