Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection

Broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection refers to the ability of a sunscreen or sunblock to protect your skin from both types of rays emitted by the Sun. UVA rays can penetrate deep into the skin and contribute to premature aging, while UVB rays are responsible for sunburns. A product that provides broad spectrum protection ensures that it offers a high level of defense against both types of UV radiation, reducing the risk of sunburn, skin damage, and skin cancer. When choosing a sunscreen or sunblock, it is important to look for the “broad spectrum” label and select one with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher for optimal protection.
