We at Soltan want to help young people start sun safe habits that last a lifetime. Therefore, in 2015 we launched Soltan Sun Ready Schools – a free educational programme designed to help young people stay sun safe and enjoy the great outdoors.
FOR PARENTS
Boots Soltan Sun Ready is designed to teach children simple ways to stay safe in the sun, and protect them from sunburn and the risks of melanoma.
With expert advice and loads of fun ideas for families, get everyone outdoors and having fun! From discovering your local bike trail, to picking blackberries – there’s something for everyone!
FOR TEACHERS
We have free curriculum-linked teaching resources for 5-14 year olds including Science, PSHE, English and Geography activities, lesson plans, films, playground activities and homework exercises. These will help your students stay sun safe and enjoy the outdoors.
FOR YOUR LITTLE ONES
This year, we have our Sun Ready Campaign Challenge to empower pupils aged 4-11 to spread the word about the importance of sun safety by creating a poster campaign to encourage others to stay safe. The first 100 entries will receive a Soltan Sun Ready Pack filled with goodies to help you stay sun safe, and the overall winners will have their campaign posters displayed in a local Boots store for the whole community to see! The competition will open on 29th April and close on 14th June. Go to the Sun Ready Schools website for more information.
SHOP THE RANGE
SOLTAN
The only leading sun care brand with full 5 star UVA protection*.
Soltan is a leading sun care range for adults, children and babies with full 5 star UVA protection and a range of SPF options available: SPF8, SPF15, SPF30 and SPF50+.
Our protection promise is to provide advanced protection, expertly formulated by Soltan’s suncare scientists with maximum 5 star UVA protection to help protect against short and long-term skin damage. In 1992, we invented the UVA rating system to ensure consistency across sun care ranges when showing the level of protection provided against harmful UVA rays that cause permanent skin damage. Today, millions of people in the UK with every skin type rely on Soltan to provide protection from the sun both at home and on holiday. Soltan is designed with Mums in mind: all our children’s suncream and baby suncream contain 5 star UVA protection too, to ensure time spent outside is always fun and worry-free! We ensure all our products are dermatologically tested, provide a non-greasy formula so that they’re light and easily absorbed, as well as being water resistant.
We have created a range of products to suit every skin type and protection need. Soltan Once Advanced 8 Hour Protect comes in both sprays and lotions and is our most advanced formula yet, giving you up to 8 hours of protection from just one application (https://www.boots.com/soltan/soltanonce- protection). Our Soltan Once Kids Advanced 8 Hour Protect and Swim gives your little ones up to 3 hours to swim safely too!
Our innovative Protect and Repel range (https://www.boots.com/soltan/soltan-protection-with-insect-repellent) is the only sun care and after-sun range on the UK market with insect repellent included to provide effective protection from sun and insects alike, without the insect repellent odour. Simply add your chosen product to your basket and get it delivered to home or a store of your choice – whichever is more convenient for you.
A Mole Scanning Service is offered at selected Boots stores in the UK to help identify any suspicious moles or pigmented lesions you may be concerned about. This service is run by ScreenCancer with assistance from a Boots healthcare team member.
*The star rating is a measure of the absorbance of UVA relative to UVB. Other brands not displaying a star rating symbol may still offer high levels of
UVA protection. Data to support can be found at www.boots.com/soltan-uva-protection
