There are three types of UV radiation, categorised by wavelength: UVA, UVB and UVC.
- UVA can cause sunburn, DNA (cell) damage in the skin and skin cancer.
- UVB causes skin damage and skin cancer. Ozone stops most UVB from reaching the earth’s surface.
- UVC is the most dangerous type of UV. Ozone in the atmosphere absorbs all UVC so none reaches the earth’s surface.
A high UV protection with complete spectrum UVA and UVB coverage sunscreen is all you need. A sunscreen that doesn’t mention ‘broad spectrum’ and only has a SPF rating may block very few UVA rays. Relative to what SPF rating it has (SPF4, SPF15 etc) it may be why you get burnt even though you applied sunscreen.
Ultraceuticals SunActive SPF 50+ range features complete spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens to provide the highest UV protection with four hours’ water resistance.
The products contains a powerful antioxidant complex for environmental protection and touch-dry technology for a shine-free velvet finish. They are free of synthetic fragrances, parabens and benzophenone, developed for all skin types and can used on adults and children alike.
The SunActiv SPF 50+ range comprises:
- Face Cream
- Mineral Defence Face and Body Cream
- Clear Body Spray
- Face and Body Lotion
- Face and Body Recovery Cream
