Our mission
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.
Ker Sun: the online reference shop for sun protective clothing and accessories in France and Europe.
All of our selected sun protective clothings are UPF50+ certified regardless of the colour of the fabric and are always made of light colored and breathable fabrics. Please note: UPF50+ certification is the highest certification and guarantees a protection of more than 98% of UV rays.
The genesis
Awareness of the dangers of UV often comes from personal experience.
Claudia, our co-founder, tells her story:
" I (Claudia) have Lupus, an autoimmune disease, to which sun exposure can greatly aggravate the symptoms.
Every summer, I was looking for an efficient protection so I was always looking for clothes to protect me from the sun, but I never managed to find pieces that protected me well and in which I felt beautiful and feminine. The only protective clothing was either very sporty or very surfer-like.
In order to avoid having to explain to everyone why I was badly dressed, and to remind myself of my illness, I preferred not to go outside when it was very sunny.
However, during my trips to America and Asia, I saw clothes there that were anti-UV, with a style that I liked, but still breathable. I thought it was a shame that we couldn't find such a range of products in France. Ker Sun was born out of this discovery."
