Senecio:

When I was younger growing up in Australia the standard only went as far 15+. Back then it was noticeable that some 15+ brands were more effective than others but you would only find out through trial and error as the labelling only allowed 15+ to be claimed. As above it was later raised to 30+ and then again to 50+. 

 

 

I was doing a photoshoot in Arizona some years ago and the guy I was with gave me a tube of SPF15 to put on. I asked him whether this was an undercoat or something...

I found this USA info.

“Both experts recommend a broad-spectrum SPF 30 at minimum for daily use. Still, as the SPF value increases, so too does the sunburn protection. “In the US, the FDA regulates sunscreens to ensure they meet safety standards and to improve their quality and effectiveness,” says Dr. Gmyrek. “Properly applied SPF 15 blocks 93 percent of UVB rays; SPF 30 blocks 97 percent of UVB rays; SPF 50 blocks 98 percent of UVB rays; and SPF 100 blocks 99 percent of UVB rays.” And while the difference in level of protection between SPF 30 and SPF 100 is only 2 percent, Dr. Gmyrek says that “day after day, year after year, that 1 to 2 percent of extra protection will go a long way.”

decibel:

 

Remeber Linda Hamilton in the Terminator movies?  She said that if you didn't have 10,000+ suntan lotion you would fry when Skynet took over.

 

 

 

We can't buy that either.
