SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and indicates the amount of sunburn protection a product provides. We recommend a minimum of SPF 30 to protect against skin cancer, wrinkles and premature aging of the skin. Harmful UVA and UVB rays can reach you even on overcast winter days, while you are driving or indoors if you’re near the light from windows, so it’s safest to protect yourself year-round, indoors and out.

What’s in a number?

The SPF rating system is a little confusing since SPF 30 isn’t twice as effective as SPF 15. SPF 15 sunscreen gives a 93% protection while SPF 30 provides 97% protection. Although SPF ratings apply only to UVB rays, applying a product containing avobenzone, titanium dioxide or zinc oxide will provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.

Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF™ Dry Sunscreen – SPF 30

Sunblocks

The following are some of our SPF products that are “sunblocks,” meaning that they contain the opaque minerals Titanium Dioxide and/or Zinc Oxide to block the sun’s rays from reaching your skin. The advantage of sunblocks over sunscreens is that they don’t have to be reapplied as often as chemical “sunscreens.”
