More Than Just Clothes: Our Story

At UV Skinz, our story began with a personal mission. Our founder, Rhonda Sparks, experienced firsthand the devastating impact of skin cancer when her husband, Darren, lost his battle with the disease. This experience sparked a fire within her, and she became determined to create stylish and effective sun protection for everyone. We believe that everyone deserves to enjoy the outdoors safely, and we're committed to providing innovative solutions that make sun safety easy and accessible.

Disclosure Done Right

What is Disclosure and Why Does It Matter?

Disclosure is simply being transparent about your relationship with UV Skinz. It means clearly informing your audience that you're part of the Sun Safety Referral Program and that you may receive compensation (like a commission) when they make a purchase through your link.
Why is this important? Because it's the law! The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requires influencers and ambassadors to disclose their relationships with brands to maintain transparency and protect consumers.
But more than just following the law, disclosure builds trust with your audience. When you're upfront about your relationship with UV Skinz, your followers will see you as honest and credible.

How to Disclose:

Use clear and conspicuous language.
Place the disclosure where it's easily noticeable (ideally at the beginning of your post or video).
Use a variety of methods to disclose (e.g., text, hashtags, verbal statements).

Examples:

#UVSkinzSquad
#ad
#sponsored
Partnering with UV Skinz
"I'm part of the UV Skinz Sun Safety Squad, and I may earn a commission if you make a purchase through my link."

Placement:

Make sure your disclosure is clear and easy to see, ideally at the beginning of your post or video.
