Comprehensive Sun Care and UV Protection
...for living and playing safe in the sun
The Company
Planet Sun LLC , a Hawaii based company, offers a comprehensive approach to sun care and UV protection in five component areas:
- Skin Care
- Apparel
- Eye wear
- Hydration/Rejuvenation
- Sun Care Accessories
The
core of the company consists of physicians and athletes who have
collectively learned some hard lessons about the sun, and approach the
science of sun care with great passion and care. Planet Sun strives to
deliver innovative products and services that support healthy
lifestyles and improve people's lives.
Planet Sun's Purpose: To provide a comprehensive approach to sun care and UV protection.
- Serve as a single source for products and services that are essential to living and playing safe in the sun.
The Planet Sun Mantra:
To improve people's lives!..... To live safe with the sun
Establish a mindset and a culture of living safe with the sun and leading a healthy and active lifestyle.
.... Outfit, educate and advocate
The reasons why for a Planet Sun: (A wake up call)
- Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States: more than 1 million skin cancers are diagnosed annually.
- More than 20 people die each day from skin cancer, primarily melanoma.
- More
than 90 percent of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure: a
person's risk for skin cancer doubles if he or she has had five or more
sunburns.
The
need for education and quality sun care products. The majority of
people diagnosed with melanoma are white men over age 50: a mark of the
"baby oil" generation (lack of proper sun care education, understanding
and products.
The
U.S. currently lags behind other countries in sun care education and
understanding. Australia and Japan have effective government programs,
national campaigns and lead in establishing industry standards for UV
protection such as UPF and UVA rating systems
A
comprehensive or "holistic" approach to sun care is necessary for good
health and skin cancer prevention. Sunscreen alone or any other
"single" sun protection measure may be inadequate.
To
the best of our knowledge, there is no single company in Hawaii
offering the products that Planet Sun intends to deliver- Why Not?
Hawaii is a mecca for the sun and healthy lifestyles- but also a place
of intense year-round UV exposure.
