Advanced UVA/UVB Sun Filter System

As suncare specialists, we use innovative technologies to make sure you achieve the right balance of colour and protection whenever you enjoy the sun.

Each of the advanced UVA/UVB sun filter systems is a powerful sun protection technology developed by Piz Buin. They offer effective photostable, broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, and help achieve that Piz Buin sunscreens comply with the latest European Commission recommendation on sunscreen products.

All of the advanced UVA/UVB sun filter systems help to protect from UVA and UVB radiation. UVB rays - "burning rays" - harm the skin’s surface and are the main cause of sunburn. UVA rays – "aeging rays" - penetrate deeper and damage collagen and elastin, which can result in premature skin ageing and cancer.

The advanced UVA/UVB sun filter systems contain both UVA and UVB filters to help protect against the sun and long term skin damage while also protecting against the more serious effects of UVA radiation. They cover most of the UVA / UVB spectrum, offering broadband protection for your skin.

What does sun protection factor (SPF) mean?

The Sun Protection Factor (SPF) specified on your bottle of sunscreen tells you how much protection your sunscreen offers against UVB rays. In general, the higher the SPF number of your sunscreen, the greater the protection, so an SPF 6 or 10 offers low protection, SPF 15, 20 or 25 offers medium protection, SPF 30 or 50 offers high protection, and SPF 50+ offers very high protection. This is measured using a standardised test.

The SPF number indicates how many times longer you can stay in the sun before starting to burn. The way it works is that you take the number of minutes it normally takes your skin to burn in the sun with no protection (let's say 15 minutes). Then, you multiply that number by the SPF number (in this case, Factor 6). Since 15 x 6 = 90, you should have 90 minutes before you start to get a sun burn. In other words, the higher the SPF the greater the protection of your sunscreen. But remember these are theoretical values. In reality, the time depends, among other factors, on your skin phototype and the local UV intensity.

To choose the right SPF, you need to consider several factors. The most important of these is your skin's phototype, which includes the colour of your skin before exposure to the sun, your hair and eye colour and other factors. You also need to think about where you are going on holiday and what time of year it is.
