You wait so long for swim season to arrive—or, at the very least, to be able to go somewhere that requires a swimsuit. You spend so much time scouring the market for that perfect one-piece or bikini. And yet, most likely, you'll only end up wearing it a handful of times this summer. More and more, though, we're seeing swim styles that are, yes, first and foremost functional, but also lend themselves to everyday wear, with pieces already in your closet.

Memorial Day is around the corner, so it's officially time to start scheduling your sunny beachside weekends and stocking up on swimwear. But more often than not, the act of shopping for bits of nylon and lycra to prance around in poolside becomes a not-so-fun experience — one filled with questions, like, "Why would I spend $200 on something that resembles cardboard nipple covers?"

There has been a dearth of innovation over the past few years in sun care, especially in the luxury market. That’s been reflected in flat sales, according to data from IRI.

He’s tapped his Italian culinary skills to incorporate ingredients into a new sun protection line that is clean and simple enough that the products could be consumed. That, of course, isn’t the intended use of Vive Sana, but Signorelli hopes the line, launching online this month, will encourage consumers to lather up more to protect against sun damage.
