UVA protection
De Sun Protection Factor (SPF) vertelt niets over de bescherming tegen UVA stralen, SPF geeft alleen de mate van beschermingsfactor tegen de UVB straling.
EU regulations
While there are no standard EU regulations governing sun protection, there are a number of recommendations in place relating to UVA claims on sunscreen products.
According to the EU recommendations, the UVA factor must be at least one-third of the SPF factor, with a critical wavelength of 370 nm. Products that meet this requirement are allowed to bear the round UVA protection logo on their packaging. Sunday Brush meets this requirement.
Products with UVA protection
All-natural mineral sunscreens that contain the physical filters titanium dioxide and zinc oxide offer adequate protection against both UVA and UVB radiation.
Sunday Brush contains both of these ingredients that protect against the harmful effects of UVA radiation and is suitable for daily use. Sunday Brush also contains a sun protection factor of 50 (SPF 50), which protects against UVB radiation.
