About UVTREK

Science-backed UV protection
for outdoor people.

UVTREK exists to make accurate, evidence-based UV protection guidance accessible to everyone who spends time outdoors — clearly written and honestly sourced.

UVTREK is a UV protection and sun education platform for outdoor enthusiasts. We cover UV science, sunscreen, UPF protective clothing, eyewear, Vitamin D, and activity-specific guidance for hikers, cyclists, golfers, anglers, and anyone who takes their time outdoors seriously.

Every article cites its sources. Every product recommendation has passed our five-point vetting process. Our sources are the same ones public health bodies rely on — the World Health Organisation, the American Academy of Dermatology, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and JAMA Dermatology. Where the evidence is uncertain or evolving, we say so.

UVTREK earns through affiliate commissions when you purchase products we recommend. We only recommend products that have passed our vetting process — commission rates play no part in that decision.

Who we are

Business Co-founder

Cheryl Dunn

Leads the editorial direction, content strategy, and business development of UVTREK. Built this platform because accurate, evidence-based UV protection guidance was too hard to find — and too important to leave unfound.
