Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is more than just a matter of comfort; for many, it is a medical necessity. UV-Blocker was founded by Ron Walker after his Stage 1 melanoma diagnosis in 2003, with a mission to provide the most reliable sun protection available. Today, we are proud to offer the only dermatologist recommended umbrella brand approved by the Melanoma International Foundation. Our patented Solarteck® silver reflective coating blocks 99% of UV rays, providing a UPF 50+ rating that has been rigorously tested per AATCC TM183-2020 standards to ensure a 100% UV-B block and 99.97% UV-A block.

Medical professionals like Dr. Andrea Buck and Dr. Aradhna Saxena trust UV-Blocker for their patients and their own families. Dr. Buck notes that “the first items we pack are our UV-Blocker Beach Umbrellas,” while Dr. Saxena describes them as one of the most effective defenses against actinic keratosis. Because insurance providers recognize the clinical value of this level of protection, UV-Blocker products are HSA/FSA eligible. Choosing a dermatologist recommended umbrella ensures you are utilizing a medical-grade barrier against sun damage, offering peace of mind and superior safety for anyone managing sun-sensitive conditions or prioritizing long-term skin health.
