[Development Background]
As of April 2026, our representative, Tomomi Enokido, who has a daughter in the second grade of elementary school, has weak skin herself and has suffered from sunburns since childhood, often resulting in bright red skin or symptoms like burns. However, she loved playing in parks and outdoors. She experienced a lot of pain because of this. After her daughter was born and began going to parks and outdoor activities at nursery school and elementary school, she became concerned about her child's sunburn and still makes sure to apply sunscreen every morning.

In the process of researching, various things became clear.

Japan is joining the ranks of major UV-exposed nations!?
Tokyo's UV levels are actually on par with major UV-exposed nations like Sydney and Los Angeles.

Half of your lifetime UV exposure occurs by age 18!
The WHO (World Health Organization) has announced the following regarding the impact of UV rays on children:
- "Sunburn during childhood (under 18) increases the risk of skin cancer and eye diseases later in life."
- "In 2020, more than 1.5 million cases of skin cancer were diagnosed worldwide, and more than 120,000 skin cancer-related deaths were reported."
- "It is estimated that 15 million people are blind due to cataracts, and about 10% of these are thought to be due to UVR exposure."
- "The majority of lifetime UV exposure occurs by age 18."
- "Excessive sun exposure in children (under 18) causes skin cancer later in life."

Furthermore, about 10 years ago, in September 2015, the Japanese Clinical Dermatological Association and the Japanese Society of Pediatric Dermatology had already issued the following unified opinion documents:

[Specific guidelines for UV protection in school life]

However, this has not been widely publicized in Japan at all!
I strongly felt that I wanted to spread the use of sunscreen in childcare facilities, which is common overseas, and make it a standard practice in Japan as well.

Of course, this does not mean that tanning is bad; it is important to note that some UV exposure is necessary to maintain health. Vitamin D is produced in the body by exposure to UV rays. According to a survey by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the recommended amount of Vitamin D from food is about 5.5µg. In contrast, the required amount of Vitamin D per day is 15µg or more, and the remaining 10µg must be produced in the body by exposure to sunlight.

Therefore, it is necessary to manage UV exposure wisely, and children love playing outside and swimming. Let's apply [La La Time] sunscreen and play energetically under the sun!

Sunscreen [La La Time], marked by the cute pineapple (Lala-chan), is easy for children to remember, and they will likely say for themselves, "It's La La Time before the park!"
