Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will face a skin cancer diagnosis by the time they hit 70? This sobering statistic hit home when Melissa Papcock, founder of Cabana Life and Ponte Vedra Beach resident, was diagnosed with melanoma at age 26. Surprisingly, she learned that lightweight clothing didn't offer the sun protection we assumed. Your typical white tee? Barely a UPF 7 shield. Determined to blend sun safety with trendsetting style, Melissa embarked on a mission to create chic and sun-safe styles.
For over 15 years, Cabana Life has been revolutionizing the way we enjoy the sun with UPF 50+ fashion pieces that you'll actually love wearing. But their mission extends beyond just clothing to educating the public when out in the sun.
Protecting Yourself
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It's the magic number that tells you how well clothing safeguards against UVA and UVB rays. A UPF 50 fabric blocks a whopping 98% of those sunbeams, drastically reducing your risk of exposure. Cabana Life ensures comprehensive coverage by incorporating the most elevated sun protection ratings across their entire array of styles.
Being Confident
Sun safety doesn't have to cramp your style. Cabana Life collections are bursting with lively colors, preppy patterns, and flattering silhouettes. With Cabana Life, you can seamlessly incorporate stylish sun protection into your daily routine, all while feeling absolutely AMAZING.
Being Educated
An astounding 86% of melanomas are linked to UV radiation from the sun. Skin cancer often falls under the category of a lifestyle disease, highlighting its strong ties to insufficient protection. The good news? It's never too early or too late to start prioritizing your skin's health.
It's About You
Cabana Life isn't just a brand; it's a sun-protective lifestyle designed to promote everyday sun safety, from your routine to your vacation. Early detection saved founder, Melissa Papcock's life, and through prevention, we can work together to make a difference for all of us.
