This is the new 2009 Euro-spec formulation to meet the 2009 EU SPF Regulation changes. This is the original SPF 40 sun block reformulated with a blend of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide in order to provide the higher UVA protection. Given that the EU rules require UVA be 1/3rd of the total SPF, the SPF 6.7 UVA rating results in an overall SPF of 20 for the product, even though the UVB rating is significantly higher.
There is NO BETTER all-natural, mineral based protection available - good UVA protection, excellent UVB protection, and remember that only mineral based sunscreen effectively protects against UVC rays.
NOTE that zinc is in NANOPARTICLE form, but is coated in stearic acid to render it inert and hence harmless in the body
Lavera's certified all natural SPF 20 Neutral provides very high factor sun protection for the face and body, and is fragrance-free, making it suitable even for those with allergies and extremely sensitive skin conditions such as dermatitis and eczema. The rich, creamy formula allows easy application and creates an effective, almost invisible barrier against UVA, B and C rays. With organic evening primrose oil to nourish skin, and liquorice extract to strengthen and soothe.
Use: For adults, children and babies over 6 months. Provides instant protection upon application, no waiting time necessary. Waterproof.
