The Skinny on Sun Care
It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Sun damage isn’t just accumulated in our youth. More than 75% of sun damage occurs after age 18.
Every day is a sunny day.
Sunshine transcends gray days and seasonal swings: 80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds.
Premature aging isn’t preordained.
Substantial control lies in your hands: 90% of visible aging has been linked to sun exposure.
UPF is the best first line of defense.
Daily SPF helps—but unless you’re reapplying every two hours, you’re not being protected.
As your daily armor, HELIADES helps you jump headfirst into the endless possibilities powered by the sun. With UPF protection that doesn’t fade over time—our apparel offers a quick and easy layer of defense whenever and wherever you need it. Being “all in”—for the everyday and watershed moments alike—has never been easier.
What they're saying
GREAT PRODUCT!
I received my white mask today. It is a lot better than my UV mask I am currently wearing. I like that it wraps around your chin also. I also thought the filter was great to have. Great product! I will be ordering more of your different styles. The hand written postcard added a nice touch. Thank you!
-- Suzette
LOVE!
Somehow I came across Heliades on IG and am so glad I did! I got my mask a few days ago and it's perfect. i love the moldable wire that fits around the nose -- this totally mitigates foggy glasses and forms a nice, comfortable seal. The mask is full coverage and I love that the sides of my face are fully UV protected...I hope you make more colors because I will definitely re-order. This dermatology PA-C is a big fan!
-- Wendy
COMMENT
I love learning about your sourcing and manufacturing and how your ethical choices contribute to your price points. Reading here that you only charge enough to cover expenses for face masks literally warms my heart and renews my faith in humanity. Thank you Sharone.
