Collection: Water Lust

Don’t get us wrong, we LOVE the sun, but too much of a good thing can be problematic. And when it comes to exposing your largest organ (your skin!) to ultraviolet radiation, even a little bit can be unhealthy.

The sun emits 3 main types of ultraviolet (UV) radiation, UVA, UVB and UVC onto our planet. These categories are classified by the wavelength of the radiation, with longer wavelength radiation created by photons of lower energy and shorter wavelength radiation created by photos of higher energy. UVC radiation has the shortest wavelength of the three and is the most energetic and damaging, but thankfully our ozone layer absorbs it and it never reaches us. Thank you O3!
