What does it mean that Malibu SPF50 Lotion is a photostable sunscreen?

Malibu SPF50 Lotion is a photostable sunscreen, meaning that it is resistant to change when exposed to light. The purpose of SPF is to stop UV damage and degradation, and in order for the sunscreen to properly protect you from the sun, it needs to be photostable. If a sunscreen is not photostable, it may degrade on your skin or in its packaging, reducing its effectiveness and requiring reliance on other sun protection factors like hats and clothing to safeguard against UV exposure. It is important to choose a photostable sunscreen to ensure the longest life for the product while still being effective.

Why is broad-spectrum protection important in a sunscreen?

Broad-spectrum protection is important in a sunscreen because it provides protection against both UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays can cause sunburns and damage the skin's outermost layers, while UVA rays can penetrate more deeply into the skin and cause premature aging, wrinkles, and DNA damage that can lead to skin cancer. In the past, many sunscreens only protected against UVB rays, but with increased awareness of the dangers of UVA radiation, manufacturers have started to include ingredients that offer broad-spectrum protection. By using a sunscreen that provides broad-spectrum protection, you can help to protect your skin from the harmful effects of both UVA and UVB rays.

How often should I reapply Malibu SPF50 Lotion?

It is recommended to reapply Malibu SPF50 Lotion every 2 hours to effectively protect the skin. Even if not in water, the lotion should be reapplied to ensure maximum protection. Additionally, the lotion is water resistant for 40 minutes, after which time it should also be reapplied to ensure the skin is protected.

What does the SPF50 mean in Malibu SPF50 Lotion?

SPF stands for sun protection factor. SP50 simply means that the lotion allows you to stay 50 times longer in the sun before you experience the sunburn you would experience without any sunscreen. In other words SPF50 blocks out at least 98% of UV rays.
