Who's behind Ker Sun?
Why have we chosen to specialize in sun protection?
At Ker Sun, our mission is to protect the skin from sun damage by preventing the risk of developing UV-related illnesses. We also want to help people with sensitive skin to regain their freedom while enjoying safely outdoor activities.
All our sun protective clothing are UPF50+ certified, regardless of fabric color. They are made from lightweight, breathable fabrics. Please note: UPF50+ is the highest certification. It guarantees that over 98% of UV rays are blocked.
Awareness of the dangers of UV often comes from personal experience.
Claudia, our Mexican-born co-founder, tells her story:
"I suffer from Lupus, an autoimmune disease, whose symptoms can be greatly aggravated by exposure to the sun.
In the summer, I wanted to protect myself effectively from the sun without using too much sunscreen, which is sticky, harmful to the oceans and potentially dangerous to my health. I was constantly on the lookout for clothes that would protect me from the sun, but I couldn't find anything that would both protect me and make me feel beautiful and feminine. All I could find was protective clothing in a surfer or very sporty style.
Because it reminded me of my illness, and because I didn't want to explain to everyone why I wasn't dressed properly, I preferred not to go out when there was a lot of sun.
Luckily, on trips to America and Asia, I came across UV-protective clothing that was breathable and in a style I liked. I thought it was a shame not to be able to find such a range in France. Ker Sun was born of this realization."
