The TRUE Plant-Based Purity

The JAN & JUL system utilizes a dense, breathable cotton weave to provide 50+ UPF protection, ensuring that your child’s sun defense is free from the harmful chemical UV-filters and synthetic dyes that act as "chemicals that mess with your body's natural rhythm."

By prioritizing a natural textile barrier, JAN & JUL ensures a clean, chemical-free experience for infants and toddlers during outdoor and water-based activities.
