How much sun protection is provided on the UPF or SPF scale?

I ride a Harley for hours at a time wearing the sleeves. I am also a very pale red head. The sleeves are VERY good at protecting the skin. I never wear sunscreen on my arms now. the longest I have ridden is 5 hours on a 90 degree day and I noticed an ever so slight pinkness but nothing approaching a sunburn.

The description says UPF 40+. I would recommend putting sunblock on underneath and reapplying. I have noticed still getting sunburn after many hours in the sun if I don't re-apply some sunblock during triathlons.

I don't know that the protection is SPF 50, but I can say for sure that I've never had a sun burn problem wearing this hat while boating. And I boat all day long in the hot sun in Missouri in July, so I see no issue or problem. Overall, it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

Hi George, 1TBS + 4TBS of any lotion (home made or store-bought) will give you about 20 SPF, here is a great link that explains how that works:http://www.livestrong.com/article/88858-add-zinc-oxide-regular-lotion/And this links gives a great recipe for DIY Waterproof Sunscreen (it's from one of our lovely customers):http://www.realfoodrn.com/diy-waterproof-sunscreen-thats-good-skin/Hope this helps :)

I kind of suspected it is broad spectrum. The ingredients list is written in Japanese, so I can't read it. But the SPF50 and PA+++ rating show both UV B and UV A protection, respectively. So, I guess, this sunscreen gives broad spectrum coverage.

I don't believe there is any SPF in the day cream. I use a foundation that has 20 SPF in it.

The one I have does not have sunscreen (I work indoors all day and I actually avoid sunscreen unless outside for more than an hour) but on the container is says that they do make one with SPF of 15.

There is no spf in it. I also wondered if it was just for tanning beds, which I no longer use. I used it for outside tanning and it did not work for me.

You'll just need to reapply more often. SPF measures how long it will take for you to sunburn.

I didn't get their SPF lotion, and have achieved a great tan! I use a regular Banana Boat SPF 30, and it's fine.

i purchased the PM version which isn't a sun screen at all. i have since purchased the AM version. The box says SPF 30. "This product has been shown only to prevent sunburn, not skin cancer or early skin aging." (Nowhere does it say broad spectrum.)

That depends on how much you add to your lotion. My understanding is that if you want an SPF of 20+, you need to use 25% of the weight of your initial amount of lotion. That is if you use 8 oz of lotion, you would need to add 2 oz of zinc oxide to get an SPF of 20 or so. That is my understanding. I mostly use this product for diaper cream. Oh, also zinc oxide shouldn't be ingested so when working with it, make sure not to inhale it.

The umbrella is made of polyester. The description did not mention anything regarding UPF protection. I always slather sunscreen on our grandson, so I don't worry about the UPF protection in the umbrella itself.

Haven't used for nighttime because of spf value. I want to save that for daytime.

UV Clear SPF 46 is formulated for skin types prone to acne, rosacea and hyperpigmentation. UV Daily SPF40 is a moisturizing sunscreen for normal or combination skin types, which is also tinted. I assume that translates into having different ingredients, hence, the difference in price. I know there was a price difference at my doctor's office as well. Like I stated in my review, I had to exchange the SPF40 for the SPF46 because the 40 caused my face to turn red. The 46 truly is much milder for me and doesn't cause any irritation.
