"Through both my clinical work and scientific research, I have seen the damaging effects the sun’s UV rays can have on the skin. High quality sun protection is a non-negotiable in every skincare routine to keep the skin healthy, which is why I recommend the Solbari range of UPF 50+ products. Their clothing, accessories and sun hats provide excellent protection against both UVA and UVB rays, and when combined with a broad spectrum SPF, can help to reduce the serious risks associated with UV exposure."

"I love the Solbari range of sun protective products - both for myself and my patients. Physical sun protection options with UPF 50+ is an important strategy to reduce our exposure to harmful UV rays. Protecting the skin daily reduces the risk of developing skin cancer, as well as minimizing signs of skin aging. The Solbari items are high quality and thoughtfully designed, with an extensive range of clothing, sun hats, and accessories, so that you get great sun protection without sacrificing style!"

"As a dermatologist and a mom to a toddler, I’m constantly outdoors—whether I’m hiking, running errands, or out on a stroller walk. I always tell my patients that sunscreen is essential, but it’s not enough on its own. For true protection against premature aging and skin cancer, sun-protective clothing is a must. That’s why I love Solbari’s UPF 50+ range—it delivers reliable protection without sacrificing style or comfort."

"I always emphasise the importance of comprehensive sun protection to my patients – not just for skin cancer prevention, but also to combat premature ageing and hyperpigmentation.

Dermatologists know that sunscreen isn’t enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This is where Solbari’s UPF 50+ range plays a critical role, providing an additional barrier against UVA and UVB rays. I particularly value how Solbari garments combine style with practical design features – such as high necklines and lightweight breathable fabrics – while meeting industry standards and offering exceptional durability.”

"When it comes to protecting our skin against UV radiation, I am a firm believer that SPF 50+ sunscreen is not enough. I always recommend UPF 50+ clothing and accessories including a wide-brim hat, long sleeves or other hand/arm coverage, and trousers/swimwear that protect our legs as well.

Solbari is a hero sun-protective clothing brand that delivers a range of quality UPF 50+ options that look great and provide outstanding protection. I am proud to recommend such a forward-thinking, Aussie-owned clothing brand that reinforces the need to protect our skin as a whole.”

Solbari combines comfort and style with world-leading UV protection, making their UPF 50+ range one of the simplest and most effective additions to your daily routine to maintain healthy skin for life.”
