How SafetySkin Reviews Products

Daniel Coleman, Founder & Editor-in-Chief
This page explains how SafetySkin evaluates sun-protection products so you can make informed choices for your family or your next outdoor adventure.

What this site does

SafetySkin is an editorial operation that cuts through marketing spin to give you the real story on sun protection. Drawing on more than a decade spent following SPF formulation trends, UPF textile standards, and the photoprotective apparel market, I bring a working fluency in the specs and trade-offs that matter most to buyers. We read FDA monographs, dissect ISO testing protocols, and translate technical terms into advice you can act on—whether you're a parent, hiker, or weekend cyclist.

How we evaluate

  • We read FDA and ISO standards to understand what labels really guarantee.
  • We weigh ingredient profiles and fabric constructions against real-world conditions.
  • We compare products based on transparency, not marketing hype.
  • We prioritize the practical trade-offs that affect comfort and protection.
