What does the SPF value on sunscreen mean?
SPF or sunburn protection factor indicates the UVB/sunburn protection provided by sunscreen. The SPF value indicates the level of sunburn protection provided by the sunscreen product. All sunscreens must be tested according to an SPF test procedure. The test measures the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure it takes to cause sunburn when a person is using a sunscreen in comparison to how much UV exposure it takes to cause sunburn when they do not use a sunscreen. The product is then labeled with the appropriate SPF value indicating the amount of sunburn protection provided by the product. Higher SPF values provide greater sunburn protection. Because SPF values are determined from a test that measures protection against sunburn caused by ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation, SPF values only indicate a sunscreen’s UVB protection. However, sunscreens that pass the new broad-spectrum test will have demonstrated that they also provide ultraviolet A (UVA) protection that is proportional to their UVB protection.
Why is zinc oxide used in EltaMD sunscreens?
Zinc oxide is a natural mineral that is safe even on the most sensitive skin, including post-procedure skin and even that of children 6 months or older. Zinc oxide blocks UVB (burning) and UVA (aging) rays that have been linked to photoaging and skin cancer.
What does "broad-spectrum" mean on sunscreens?
The broad-spectrum test measures a product’s ultraviolet A (UVA) protection relative to its ultraviolet B (UVB) protection. Sunscreens that pass this test may be labeled as “Broad-Spectrum SPF (value)” on the front of their label. For broad-spectrum sunscreens, SPF values also indicate the amount or magnitude of overall protection. Broad-Spectrum SPF products with SPF valued higher than 15 provide greater protection and may claim additional uses. Only broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF value of 15 or higher can claim to reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging if used as directed with other sun protection measures. Non-broad-spectrum sunscreens and broad-spectrum sunscreens with an SPF value between 2 and 14 can only claim to help prevent sunburn.

Really a life saver with attending sports competitions outside with no shade and needing protection from the sun. Very comfortable for everyday use too!
- KMKathryn M.Verified Buyer3 days agoRated 5 out of 5 starsMy one and only!
After having serious skin cancer surgery on my face, both my surgeon and my dermatologist recommended this particular sunscreen. I researched the prices online and while we live on the East Coast, found this site to offer the best price. I have since convinced my husband and our 5 adult children and their spouses to also use this. My skin cancer scare was enough to make us all of us realize the importance of proper protection and prevention.

I’ve been using trifecta now for the past four months, and have REALLY noticed a significant difference in the texture and clearness of my skin!
I no longer suffer from greasy, oily acne – prone skin, and my face feels and looks completely refreshed!
I’ve been getting compliments right and left, and people asking me if I’ve been getting more sleep! Lol.
Thank you so much for inventing this amazing product! It’s worth every penny!!
