Sunplay Super Block SPF130 has the highest SPF for maximum outdoor protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays all day long. It has a Revolutionary Watery Liquid Formulation that gives you the protection that you need, without you feeling a thing!
• Highly water resistant
• Ideal for face and body
I redeemed a 6g sample from its facebook page and has been using it mainly from my arms down all the way to my wrists every day before stepping out of the door.
This small portable size with a SPF130 stamped on it gives the illusion that it has the highest protection factor in the market, hence would be able to protect against the harshest sun rays from all over the world.
SPF refers to the ability of a sunscreen to block ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, which cause sunburns, but not UVA rays, which are more closely linked to deeper skin damage
However, please note that an SPF 15 product blocks about 94% of UVB rays; an SPF 30 product blocks 97% of UVB rays; and an SPF 45 product blocks about 98% of rays so actually SPF130 product does not differ much from an SPF45 product.
Sunscreens with higher SPF ratings block slightly more UVB rays, but none offers 100% protection.
Recently, the FDA has a proposed regulation that would limit the maximum SPF value on sunscreen labeling to “SPF 50+”
The final regulations, which become effective June 18, 2012 ( compliance dates for testing and labeling were extended until Dec. 17, 2012 for most over-the-counter sunscreen products ) establish a standard test for over-the-counter (sold without a prescription) sunscreen products that will determine which products are allowed to be labeled as “Broad Spectrum.”
Products that pass the broad spectrum test will provide protection against both ultraviolet B radiation (UVB) and ultraviolet A radiation (UVA). Sunburn is primarily caused by UVB. Both UVB and UVA can cause sunburn, skin cancer, and premature skin aging. A certain percentage of a broad spectrum product’s total protection is against UVA. ( PA rating where PA+++ offers the highest protection )
The new labeling will also tell consumers on the back of the product that sunscreens labeled as both “Broad Spectrum” and “SPF 15” (or higher) not only protect against sunburn, but, if used as directed with other sun protection measures, can reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. For these broad spectrum products, higher SPF (Sun Protection Factor) values also indicate higher levels of overall protection.
Well, let's get back to the product then. This Super Block SPF130 PA+++ comes in a watery formulation, commonly found in Sunplay products. White in colour, its runny and hence oozes out easily from the bottle, once tilted.
The texture is light and non-greasy but tends to leave a powdery-feel after it dries up and feels slightly drying on my hands. A distinct sunscreen smell is also apparent.
It contains Solarex-3 technology that provides a unique UV defense protection.
