A sunscreen label of SPF (Sun Protection Factor) 15 means: A. You can stay out in the sun 15 times longer than you normally can without getting burned. B. The sunscreen lets twice as much solar radiation through as a sunscreen labeled SPF30.C. It takes 15 times more solar energy to produce a sunburn compared to unprotected skin. D. The SPF value tells consumers how much broad spectrum protection the sunscreen provides. E. You can stay out in the sun for 15 hours without being burned.
What is C: It takes 15 times more solar energy to produce a sunburn compared to unprotected skin.
SPF is a measure of how much solar energy (UV radiation) is required to produce sunburn on protected skin relative to the amount of solar energy required to produce sunburn on unprotected skin. As SPF value increases, sunburn protection increases. It is important to remember that there are factors other than the amount of time you spend in the sun that impact the level of SPF you need. For example, the intensity of the sun and the geographic location you are in impact the amount of solar energy you are exposed to. Also, when you reapply sunscreen, you are not resetting the clock: any sun damage that your skin has undergone remains. However, frequent reapplication of sunscreens is associated with decreased absorption of solar (i.e., UV) radiation.
