UV bands

We are offering schools* and workplaces these innovative colour-changing UV bands to buy outright or sell on our behalf in support of the cause.

The band changes colour when exposed to UV radiation, reminding you to protect your skin from sun damage.

These lightweight silicon bands cost $3 each, come in either adult or child sizes and can be attached to drink bottles and bags.

Spread the word amongst your students or colleagues, then let us know how many you’d like to order.*

Your purchase of these UV bands will help us spread our lifesaving messages and help fund the valuable work we do to help promote melanoma prevention and early detection in New Zealand.

Put it on a drink bottle or schoolbag and watch it change colour every time you go outside.

Applying sunscreen is integral to protecting our skin, but it is not enough on its own,” says Megan. “Empower yourself, your family and your young people to slip on some protective clothing, slap on a hat, seek shade and slide on some sunglasses… all year round.”
