Everyday clothing. Extraordinary protection.
I moved from the UK to South Africa and watched my skin age in fast-forward. That's when I realised how lethal the sun really is. My generation grew up covering ourselves in baby oil, chasing tans - we didn't know better. We learned through damage we can't undo. But we now have the knowledge and technology to protect skin BEFORE damage occurs. SunKin is building the future where UV clothing is as standard as sunscreen - starting with the next generation, because that's where cultural shifts begin.
What started as a personal mission quickly grew into a CANSA-certified brand that blocks 98% of harmful rays. Every garment reflects our mission - because childhood should be wild and free, with memories that last forever, not sunburns.
Gentle by nature, strong by design.
We choose nature’s best—garments crafted with natural fibres to love your child’s skin and the planet. Breathable and soft, our fabrics offer maximum comfort and are naturally UV protective. That’s conscious comfort.
Certified Protection, trusted by experts
SunKin is proudly awarded the 'Smart Choice' by the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA). That means our UPF 50+ range meets their rigorous standards for sun-safe clothing. Real protection, real peace of mind—for the parents who want the very best.
Built-In Sun Safety, No Compromise
SunKin garments block 98% of UVA and UVB rays with UPF 50+ protection, the highest possible rating available. It's wearable sun-protection for every day - because UPF clothing isn't exclusively for the beach or pool.
Let customers speak for us
My daughter loves her shortarees, perfect fit and the fabric is super comfy - highly recommended! 🐅
My daughter loves her tiger tee and has been wearing it non stop. She loves the tiger print (it's her favourite animal) and I love the quality, it's well made and the extra sun protection gives peace of mind.
Not all fabrics are created equal. At SunKin, our UPF 50+ protection is the fabric itself—no chemical coatings or harsh sprays, just clever design and naturally sun-safe fibres.
We use breathable, tightly woven natural fabrics, which are kinder to sensitive skin and block 98% of UVA and UVB rays. Every fabric in the SunKin range is laboratory tested and trusted by CANSA, because your child’s sun safety isn’t just a feature—it’s the foundation.
Buy well, wear well, and protect your skin.
Play is training for the unexpected.
The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
To take children seriously is to value them for who they are right now rather than adults-in-the-making.
Almost all creativity involves purposeful play.
