    Ep. 130: Sun Protecting Kids in the Great Outdoors with Sunny Cubs

    In this episode, Adrianna talks with Jessica Schisler, founder of Sunny Cubs, about her mission to protect babies from the sun through thoughtfully designed UV-protective hoodies and onesies made for every outdoor adventure, from hiking and camping to backpacking and beach days. In this conversation, Jess Schisler, founder of Sunny Cubs, shares her journey of creating a line of sun-safe clothing for babies and toddlers. She discusses the importance of sun protection, especially for young children, and how her personal experiences as a mother inspired her to develop products that allow families to enjoy outdoor adventures safely. The conversation covers design philosophy, material choices, and practical sun safety tips for parents. Jess emphasizes the need for more outdoor gear for babies and the mental health benefits of getting outside with children. Takeaways: Jessica Schisler founded Sunny Cubs to provide sun-safe clothing for babies. 80% of UV exposure occurs before the age of 18, making sun protection crucial. Not all fabrics offer the same level of UV protection; choose wisely. The design of Sunny Cubs products focuses on comfort and functionality for active families. Sustainability is a core value in the production of Sunny Cubs clothing. Parents should start outdoor adventures early to avoid peak UV hours. Hydration is essential when spending time outdoors, especially in the sun. Using a makeup brush for sunscreen application can make it fun for kids. Jess emphasizes the importance of community and sharing knowledge about sun safety. The journey of entrepreneurship is filled with challenges, but passion drives success.
