■What is UPF?
Ultraviolet Protection Factor
UPF is a scale showing a more realistic UV protection effect, calculated by multiplying the UV ray strength of sunlight on the earth’s surface and the skin damage caused by those UV rays.
| UPF | UV protection |
|---|---|
| 15,20 | Good |
| 25,30,35 | Very good |
| 40,45,50,50+ | Excellent |
■UPF as a guide for UV protection
Assuming that 15 minutes of exposure to UV rays causes sunburn in sunny summer weather,
UV Digital 99 (UPF50) can protect the skin from UV damage for the following amount of time:
15 min x UPF50 = 750 min
