What’s the difference between UVA and UVB?

UVA light has a longer wavelength and is associated with skin aging, while UVB light has a shorter wavelength and is associated with skin burning.

Either way, it’s important to top up the SPF throughout every day to top up the coverage.

To stay safe in the sun and give your skin maximum protection, look for SPF that protects against both types.

That’s why our Everyday Hero SPF50+ has Broad Spectrum protection, covering against UVA and UVB, as well as blue light and even environmental stressors.
