Sunscreen Formula SPF 50 PA++++

The SPF 50 PA++++ value for the hybrid sunscreen formula containing Zinc Oxide 200nm EasyDisperse™ (9.2%), OMC (7.5%), and DHHB (2.5%) is an estimated value based on a similar commercial product (KANEBO ALLIE EX UV PROTECTOR GEL (MINERAL MOIST) N SPF 50/PA++++), not a result from laboratory testing of this specific formula.

Lab testing provides a more accurate determination of SPF and PA values. While the reference brand is considered reliable, actual performance can vary based on the specific formulation and manufacturing process.

• Zinc Oxide 200nm EasyDisperse™: This is a physical sunscreen providing broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays.
• OMC (Octinoxate): This is a chemical sunscreen primarily effective against UVB rays.
• DHHB (Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate): This is a chemical sunscreen primarily effective against UVA rays and also acts as an SPF booster when combined with other UVB filters like OMC. The description for DHHB indicates that 2.5% is a recommended level when used with Zinc Oxide for UVA protection and enhancing its function.

Therefore, while the combination of these sunscreens at these concentrations is designed to provide high-level protection, the SPF 50 PA++++ claim for this specific formula is an estimation derived from a reference product, not a verified lab result for the formula itself.
