sun Protection Factor (sPF)
SPF refers to the amount of sun exposure time allowed before a person’s particular skin
type begins to burn. An SPF value is assigned by the manufacturers of sun protection
cosmetics for items such as sunscreens, lipsticks, makeup, etc. For example, using a
sunscreen with an SPG of 4 indicates a person can be exposed to the sun 4 times longer
without burning than without using any sunscreen. SPF values for this UV monitor range
from 1 to 50, the default being 15.
