Our partnership with Soltan

Soltan is a leading sun care range for adults, children and babies only available in Boots. In 1992, Soltan invented the UVA rating system to ensure consistency across sun care ranges when showing the level of protection provided against harmful UVA rays that cause permanent skin damage.

Soltan is uncompromising in protection, with 5 star UVA across the entire range. Soltan has over 80 years sun care experience and is expertly formulated by Soltan’s sun care scientists to help protect against short and long-term skin damage.

We’re proudly partnering with Soltan, as our official Sun Safety Partner for a 3rd year, to ensure everyone has access to the information and protection they need to stay safe in the sun. Our partnership also helps raise funds to deliver services needed by people living with cancer, including skin cancer.

Protecting yourself from the sun is very important, especially if you have had treatment for skin cancer. Macmillan and Soltan recommend using a sun cream with factor 30+ and 5 star UVA protection to support in protecting your skin in the sun. Additional measures to reduce risk associated with sun exposure should be taken. We have information to help you protect your skin in the sun.

We're working with Boots and Soltan to help everyone living with cancer find the information and support they need to feel more like themselves again.

Our Boots Macmillan Information Pharmacists are professional pharmacists employed by Boots. They volunteer some of their time in work to support customers living with or affected by cancer. They are trained to understand how cancer diagnosis and treatment can affect people. They can also answer questions about medication and guide people to other sources of information and support.

Our Boots Macmillan Beauty Advisors are No7 Advisors trained by Macmillan and Boots to give face-to-face advice to help people cope with visible side effects of cancer and its treatment. From defining sparse brows and lashes to caring for nails that are suddenly more brittle, they offer tips to help people feel, and look, more like themselves again.

Boots also offer a Mole Scanning Service, which provides you with an assessment of moles and pigmented lesions you’re worried about, which can help to identify any that might be suspicious. Details of the costs for this service are provided on their website.
