Main Information

In order to protect the skin from photodamage, dermatologists recommend daily use of a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15; yet as we have seen from our survey consumers are still confused when it comes to purchasing adequate sun protection for their skin.
In the UK, sun creams currently have to comply with cosmetics safety laws contained in the Cosmetics Products (Safety) Regulations 1996, which also cover general beauty products. However, these regulations do not include a method for determining SPF (UVB protection) or UVA protection values, and do not give guidance about what claims can or cannot be included in labelling; all helping to explain why there is no universal system or standards and consumers are left in the dark.
As the research into the effects of UVA light continues and the unfortunate rise in skin cancer cases accelerates, more and more manufacturers are looking at ways to offer a proper broad-spectrum sun protection product that actually does what it says on the label.
So before you step out of the front door this summer, make sure you choose a sunscreen that offers the protection you need and liberally slather it on. As always though, sun avoidance still remains the most desirable form of protection from the sun.
