Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is part of the electromagnetic (light) spectrum that reaches the earth from the sun. It has wavelengths shorter than visible light, making it invisible to the naked eye Ultraviolet A (UVA) is the longer wave UV ray that causes lasting skin damage, skin aging, and can cause skin cancer․ Ultraviolet B (UVB) is the shorter wave UV ray that causes sunburns, skin damage, and can cause skin cancer․
Sunscreens are products combining several ingredients that help prevent the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation from reaching the skin․ Two types of ultraviolet radiation, UVA and UVB, damage the skin and increase your risk of skin cancer․ Sunscreens vary in their ability to protect against UVA and UVB․

Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone is a compound that readily absorbs UVA and UVB radiation and is commonly found in sunscreen and other sun care products․
Due to its excellent solubility in a wide range of cosmetic oils, only low levels are needed to incorporate enough active ingredients to reach the high SPFs
Used in concentrations of up to 10%․ It filters UVB rays, and some UVA rays․
