Swimsuits With Ultraviolet Protection Factor

I guess I had heard of these but since I never needed it I hadn't given it much thought. I ordered a new bathing suit online from Amazon and one half of it got delivered yesterday (it's separate pieces - top and bottom) and it has UV Block of 50+. That's interesting, but again I don't tend to need it because I don't get sunburned. I bought it because it's quick-drying and modest (longer board shorts but like leggings). I see that they also make clothing for outdoor workers with UPF in it. Would this type of clothing interest you?

Heard of these, but as I burn easily, I avoid the sun and don't really need one.

Most clothing already provides some protection from the sun, although it depends on color and fabric. So, I think this is redundant.

I would worry what the chemicals might do to my body
