Yes, the suit is made from OEKO-TEX approved fabric, which is tested for harmful substances to ensure it is gentle on delicate infant skin.
Can I put this in the washing machine?

Does it protect the arms and legs?

What should I do if the suit gets wet with salt water?

Troubleshooting
Stubborn sand trapped in fabric
Rinse the suit thoroughly in cool, clean water while gently stretching the fabric to release trapped grains.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the sun protection factor, please follow these care instructions strictly. The suit should be hand washed in cold water after every use, especially after exposure to chlorine or salt water, to remove residues that might degrade the fabric fibers. Do not bleach, iron, or tumble dry the garment. Store the suit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. While the garment provides significant UV blocking, it is always recommended to pair this with a sun hat and additional shade when the sun is at its strongest.
