  • Title: Comparison of UVA protection afforded by high sun protection factor sunscreens.
    Author: Bissonnette R, Allas S, Moyal D, Provost N.
    Journal: J Am Acad Dermatol; 2000 Dec; 43(6):1036-8. PubMed ID: 11100019.
    Abstract:
    UVA protection afforded by 6 different sunscreens with a sun protection factor of 21 or more was compared by means of the persistent pigmentation darkening method. Colorimetric and visual assessment showed significant differences in UV radiation-induced pigmentation at 2 hours. The labeled sun protection factor of the tested sunscreens was not predictive of UVA protection level.
