1. spf

   SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure used in sunscreens to indicate the level of protection they offer from harmful UVB rays, which are responsible for sunburn and can contribute to skin cancer. The higher the SPF number, the greater the protection against UVB rays. For example, an SPF of 15 blocks approximately 93% of UVB rays, while an SPF of 30 blocks approximately 97%. Notably, SPF does not measure protection against UVA rays, which can also be harmful.
