The Japan Tennis Association Adopts Bioré UV as Its Official Sunscreen

Tennis enthusiasts on both professional and amateur levels enjoy the game at all stages of their lives. From April 2020, Japan's ministry of education will be introducing tennis and related sports into the physical education curriculum at Japanese primary schools, which is certain to expand the tennis popularity in Japan. Sun exposure is a real concern for tennis players, as most courts are outdoors and the game play can continue for hours. Protections against heat and sunburn are essential. The JTA has begun to strengthen its attempts raise player awareness about the protective measures they should take. Kao, a provider of sun care products, has concluded a sponsorship agreement with the JTA to make Bioré UV the association's official sunscreen brand. Kao and the JTA will be working together at tennis tournaments, tennis schools, and related events to spread awareness of the importance of sunburn prevention and the appropriate use of UV products.
Since its release, the products from Kao's dedicated sun care brand Bioré UV quickly became popular for their stress-free skin sensation and suitability for daily use. The sun's rays are likely to become stronger with the advance of climate change, leading to a hotter, more humid atmosphere. As the climate changes, sunscreens will become a more important part of daily skincare. Athlizm, a core sunscreen in the Bioré UV line-up, forms a durable film that stays in place even on heavily perspiring skin on hot and humid days. Kao continues to develop new Bioré UV products to meet the sun protection needs of a widening base of customers including Kids UV, a gentle sunscreen for young children.
Kao will be supporting not just tennis players, but everyone who plays sports under the sun, to keep them active outdoors without worries about UV effects and other environmental stresses.
