SPF (SUN PROTECTION FACTOR) WHAT IS IT?
The SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is the index used to indicate the protection factor of a cosmetic, against sun rays (UVA and UVB and type A utraviolet radiation). It is expressed through a numerical value, usually between 15 and 50, the higher it is, the greater the shielding that is guaranteed.
SPF? FROM 30 UP
Each solar product has the wording “SPF”, followed by a value that increases from ten to ten.
Each value corresponds to a percentage, which determines its category (protection: low, medium, high).
According to dermatologists, you shouldn’t choose sunscreens with an SPF below 30 (absorbs 97% of the rays).
