Ratio of UV-A to UV-B is approximately 20:1. UV-A is constant throughout the year. UV-B is greatest during summer. UV-B & UV-A reach earths surface in amounts affected by altitude & season. UV-C does not normally reach earths surface because of filtration by ozone & atmospheric moisture. Atmosphere does not protect humans completely from damage by UV-B & UV-A

Visible damage is reaction which is seen immediately after sun exposure e.g. immediate pigmentation, actinic erythema (sunburn), hyperkeratinisation & tanning. Invisible damage of skin are those which cause damage to immune system, harms cell membranes, making it a favorite site for attack by free radicals. UV light can also destroy DNA & thereby cause cell death.

Sun Protection Factor (SPF) SPF is defined as the amount of UV radiation required to produce 1 minimal erythema dose (MED) on protected skin after application of 2 mg.cm of sunscreen product divided by the amount of UV radiation required to produce 1 MED on unprotected skin. MED (Minimal Erythema Dose) is the dose of radiation at a specific wavelength which will produce a delayed erythema response.

It is recommended that broad-spectrum products with SPF of at least 15 be used. Broad-spectrum or fullspectrum sunscreen provides UV-B & UV-A protection.

For children 6 months to 2 years, it is recommended to use sunscreen with SPF of at least 4, although 15 or higher is considered best. Because babys bodies may not be developed enough to handle sunscreen chemicals, they should not be used on babies younger than 6 months of age.

Such allergic reactions are not reported with the sunactive agents in Elovera - SPF. All the ingredients are photostable. Waterproof : Sunscreen formulation with water proof property so that after application though patient might sweat but still the product will be retained on skin for longer time. Secondly sunscreens are widely prescribed to swimmers where they are exposed to more amount of reflected light so sun damages are common.

Criteria for an ideal sunscreen & how is Elovera SPF closer to it? Diffusion of Sunactive agents at dermis : The sunactive agents of Elovera - SPF are lipophilic so they easily diffuse at the level of dermis thus protecting from deeper penetrating UVA radiations. Non-Comedogenic : Sunscreens are often applied on face & are prescribed to teens, where acne is a concern. In such situations comedogenic formulation might worsen acne. Thus it is essential that product should be noncomedogenic. Elovera-SPF is noncomedogenic.
