 1,000

Shields skin from UVA and UVB rays. Available in chemical and mineral forms. SPF indicates UVB protection level.

UV sunblock, or sunscreen, is a topical product designed to protect the skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Here’s some key information:
1. Types of UV Radiation:
•UVA: Long-wave UV rays that can penetrate deep into the skin, causing aging and long-term skin damage.
•UVB: Short-wave UV rays that cause sunburn and can lead to skin cancer.
2. Types of Sunscreen:
•Chemical Sunscreens: They contain organic compounds (like oxybenzone, and avobenzone) that absorb UV radiation and convert it into heat, which is then released from the skin.
•Physical (Mineral) Sunscreens: Contain active mineral ingredients (like zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) that sit on top of the skin and reflect UV radiation away from the skin.
3. SPF (Sun Protection Factor):
•Measures how well the sunscreen protects against UVB rays. For example, SPF 30 means it would take 30 times longer for your skin to burn compared to without sunscreen.
