Our tan-through fabric
Is it possible to get a streak-free, safe tan?
At Atelier Palacios, we've chosen SunSelect® technology to design our tan-through swimsuits.
But how exactly does it work? And most importantly: is it really effective and safe for your skin? We'll explain everything.
What is a tan-through fabric?
The fabric used is a smart, patented textile, specially designed to allow some of the sun's rays necessary for tanning to pass through, while protecting the skin from the harmful effects of excessive exposure.
Do you need to wear sunscreen under your swimsuit?
No. The tan-through fabric acts as built-in sun protection:
It offers protection equivalent to a UPF 25 to 50+ rating, meaning excellent filtration of ultraviolet rays.
Unlike sunscreen, the protection doesn't wash off with water or rubbing, and requires no reapplication.
Therefore, you do not need to apply cream under the fabric. However, it is essential to apply it to areas directly exposed to the sun.
