Shade Patch UV Protection UPF 50+ Sun Patches for Tattoos — XL 5-Pack, Extra-Large Breathable & Sweat-Resistant

Shade Patch XL is a single-use, breathable textile patch that provides UPF 50+ physical sun protection to cover tattoos and large skin areas without sunscreen chemicals.

These extra-large patches (6.7" x 7.7") are built from a clinically tested fabric that blocks the majority of UVA and UVB radiation, offering an alternative to chemical sunscreens for sensitive or recently treated skin. Lightweight and sweat-resistant, the patches adhere to clean, dry skin and deliver continuous coverage for a full day of outdoor activities. They are hypoallergenic, suitable for all ages, and eligible for FSA/HSA purchase.

How well do these patches protect tattoos and healed skin?

The Shade Patch XL uses tightly woven textile technology that provides UPF 50+ coverage, reducing UV exposure to treated or inked skin. This physical barrier lowers the risk of sun-induced fading and irritation without topical chemicals.

• Clinically tested fabric blocks 98%+ of UVA/UVB light
• UPF 50+ rated for strong everyday sun filtering
• Large 6.7" x 7.7" dimensions cover shoulders, chest, and limbs
• Single-use design keeps each application hygienic and fresh

Can I wear these patches during exercise, beach days, or sweating?

Yes — Shade Patch XL is engineered to remain in place through heat, humidity, and physical movement. The adhesive holds firmly on clean, dry skin and resists slipping, so you can stay active without constant upkeep.

• Sweat-resistant adhesive maintains contact during activity
• Ultra-thin textile lets skin breathe to minimize irritation
• Designed to stay secure while swimming, running, or sunbathing
• Single-use format avoids weakened adhesion from reused patches

Are these safe for sensitive skin or post-procedure care?

Shade Patch XL offers non-chemical, topical protection that does not absorb into the body, making it a good option when you want to avoid sunscreen ingredients. The hypoallergenic material is gentle for most skin types, including sensitive and melasma-prone skin, and useful after dermatological procedures when sun avoidance is recommended.

• Chemical-free physical barrier — no systemic absorption
• Hypoallergenic textile reduces risk of irritation
• Recommended for delicate areas and recently treated skin
• Works as a complement to clinician aftercare when advised

How long does one patch last and how should I apply it?

Each patch is intended for a single full-day application; because it’s single-use, freshness and adhesive performance are consistent every time. For best results, apply to clean, dry, oil-free skin and press the edges firmly to secure a seal.

• Single-use: fresh patch for each outing, no reapplication needed
• Apply to clean, dry, and oil-free skin for reliable adhesion
• No expiration date — the product’s protection properties are stable
• Sold as a 5-pack — carry extras for multiple days or locations

Who is this for? Shade Patch XL suits anyone wanting robust, chemical-free sun protection over larger skin areas or tattoos — especially people with sensitive skin, those recovering from skin procedures, athletes, beachgoers, parents protecting children's delicate skin, or anyone preferring a physical barrier to repeated sunscreen reapplication. If you need a reliable, single-use sun shield that’s breathable, stays in place, and delivers UPF 50+ coverage, this product is designed for you.
