PA++++
In professional sun protection,
the latest science includes
the Protection Grade of UVA (PA)
in addition to SPF.
PA indicates protection
against UVA radiation:
PA+ = PPD 2-4,
PA++ 4-8,
PA+++ 8-16,
PA++++ >16.
PPD Value
The ratio between the smallest dose
of UVA radiation causing persistent
pigmentation on protected and
unprotected skin
is called the PPD value.
(Persistent Pigment Darkening)
A PPD 10 roughly means
that the skin takes ten times longer to tan.
SPF50
If the skin’s natural protection time
is 10 minutes according to individual skin type
and it is thoroughly applied with SPF 50,
theoretically,
it can withstand 500 minutes
of sun exposure
before sunburn occurs.
That’s about 8.5 hours.
The calculation:
10 minutes of natural protection time x 50 (SPF) = 500.
Sufficient application of sunscreen
is a prerequisite for this calculation.
Insufficient sunscreen reduces protection.

Conventional UV Products
This section explains how traditional UV products work.
Until now, there were only two types of sunscreen products:
(UV-Cut Products) UVA Absorbers and UV Scattering Agents.
While UVA absorbers absorb UV light themselves, UV scatterers prevent UV light from reaching the skin by reflecting sunlight, including UV light.
UVA absorbers or UV scatterers in most cases contain Titanium Dioxide or Zinc Oxide.
These UV-absorbing agents have the disadvantage of being poorly soluble with other solutions and tend to crystallize.
This limits the amount that can be mixed.
UV scattering agents are powders that, due to their physical properties, create microscopic gaps.
Applied to the skin, these gaps allow UV light to penetrate, damaging the skin’s collagen and elastin.
This leads to premature skin aging, loss of elasticity, and an increased risk of skin cancer caused by excessive sun exposure.
In addition, UVB rays with shorter wavelengths are either absorbed by the UVB absorber or reflected.
APTOSOL™ has addressed all the shortcomings of traditional products by introducing a special oil solution (Esterol No. 26) that can evenly dissolve UVA absorbers and has developed a special anti-UV molecular structure.
What is applied to the skin is the UV-AB Protector, which has a highly ordered structure.
UVA is absorbed by the UVA absorber and partially reflected.
UVB is absorbed and partially reflected as well.
All ultraviolet rays are treated directly upon reaching the skin surface, never penetrating the skin tissue.
Your skin is perfectly protected.
