Sun Protection Factor (SPF) indikerar nivån av skydd från UVB-strålar – de som gör att du bränner dig. Siffran står för hur många gånger längre du kan vara i solen utan att bränna dig, jämfört med hur länge du kan vara i solen utan SPF. Med SPF 15 kan du vara i solen 15 gånger längre, SPF 20 är 20 gånger längre, och så vidare. SPF mäter inte skydd mot skadliga UVA-strålar. För att skydda dig från både UVB och UVA-strålar, leta efter ett solskydd med märkningen "broad spectrum".
The Sun Stick offers SPF 50 and protection against UVA and UVB rays, shielding your skin from 98% of the sun's harmful rays. Its water-resistant formula is easy to apply to small areas and perfect for refreshing your sun protection throughout the day. It contains a softening oil and vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant that protects the skin from free radicals and provides ample moisture.
Its handy, small packaging fits easily in your handbag or ski jacket. Also suitable for babies and children.
SUN FILTERS
The Sun Stick contains four broad-spectrum chemical sun filters that protect against both UVA and UVB rays:
- Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, which offers strong protection against UVA rays, free radicals, and skin damage.
- Ethylhexyl Triazone, an effective and water-resistant UVB filter that absorbs a high proportion of the sun's rays, preventing them from penetrating the skin and causing damage.
- Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, a broad-spectrum UV filter that provides protection against both UVB and UVA II rays.
- Phenylbenzimidazole Sulfonic Acid, which offers strong protection against UVB rays.
Chemical sun filters work by penetrating the top layer of the skin, where they absorb a portion of UV radiation, preventing it from penetrating deeper and causing harm.
WATER-RESISTANT
The Sun Stick is water-resistant, meaning it has been tested to allow for swimming for 2 x 20 minutes before reapplication is necessary, provided you air dry and do not towel off.
AllergyCertified, vegan, fragrance-free, and dermatologically tested.
