A dedicated page
For skin that cannot forgive the sun.
UVEA is not a medical brand. But our garments offer real sun protection — UPF 80, guaranteed for 80 washes — which makes them valuable for skin that cannot afford exposure. This page is dedicated to that need.
Designed not to fail.
Our textiles are certified to the most demanding photoprotection standards. Here is what that means, concretely.
UPF 80
Blocks ≥ 98.75% of UVA and UVB. The strictest threshold of international textile photoprotection standards.
— Certified80 washes
Protection does not degrade. Tests are conducted after repeated washes and confirm performance over time.
— GuaranteedCovering cuts
Long sleeves, high back, optional hood and high collar. Designed to minimize exposed skin.
— DesignItalian fabric
Recycled, certified, no chemical treatment added to the fibre. Protection comes from the knit itself.
— OriginRegularly worn by families concerned.
We do not diagnose. We make a garment that protects. Here are the situations in which it is most often worn.
Giant Congenital Nevus
Large pigmented nevus present at birth. Strict photoprotection is required throughout life: the textile is worn from the first months, alongside dermatological follow-up.
Xeroderma Pigmentosum
Rare genetic disease also called "Children of the Moon". Any UV exposure — even indirect — can be dangerous. Textile coverage is continuous and complete.
Vitiligo
Patchy depigmentation of the skin. White areas, devoid of melanin, burn in minutes. UPF textile protects without systematic use of sunscreen on the affected areas.
Post-dermatological treatment
Laser, cryotherapy, skin surgery, recent scars. Treated skin must be kept out of the sun for weeks or even months to avoid pigmentation and complications.
