UVA and UVB Sun protection factor


UVA andUVB Sun protection factor

SPF is Sun Protection Factor. The number is determined experimentally indoors by exposing human subjects to a light spectrum meant to mimic noontime sun. The SPF number only relates to UVB protection. UVA is measured by the other definition. UVA protection is not measured through SPF numbers. 
PA is the Japanese measurement of sun protection. It is one of protection grade of UVA . UVA is based on the Persistent Pigment Darkening (PPD) reaction reading at 2-4 hours of sun exposure.  PA is a protective level of strength to mark the three PA+, PA++ and PA+++.

SPF(sun protection factor)
  • Standard: ISO 2444: 2010 cosmetic sun protection test method in vivo determination of SPF (sun protection factor)
  • Test by erythema
  • Minimal dose: MED (minimal erythema dose)
  • Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 290-400nm)
  • Test skin type: type I~ III (ITA0>280)
  • Duration: 16-24hrs after exposure


UVA-PF (UVA protection factor)
  • Standard: ISO 24442: 2011- cosmetics-sun protection test methods-in vivo determination of sunscreen UVA protection.  
  • Test by PPD (persistent pigment darkening)
  • Minimal dose: MPPDD (minimal persistent pigment darkening dose)
  • Process: exposure to the UV (wave length 320-400nm). calculate the UVA parameter by statistics.
  • Test skin type: type II~ IV (200<ITA0>410)
  • Duration: 2-4hrs after exposure


PA (Protection Grade of UVA)
PA+     = 2<UVA-PF<4
PA++    = 4<UVA-PF<8    
PA+++   = 8<UVA-PF
PA++++  = 16<UVA-PF

PA+ provides some UVA protection with a factor of PPD 2-4. It protects skin against low to medium UV radiation.
PA++ provides moderate UVA protection with a factor of PPD 4-8. It protects skin exposure to medium UV radiation.
PA+++ provides good UVA protection with a factor of PPD > 8. It is the strongest grade of UVA protection now available. It protects skin exposure under very strong or direct UV radiation.

ITA0 (individual typology angle)

ITA 0 (individual typology angle) (Wikipedia, color space conversions, Adrian Ford and Alan Roberts, Aug.11, 1998) ITA values were calculated from spectrocolorimeter (Datacolor) mea­surements of the L* (Luminance) and b* (yellow/blue component) parameters. This value is based on CIELab of the CIE system. The CIE has defined a system that classifies color according to the HVS (the human visual system). This system is called color space which is in combination with physical device profiling, it allows for reproducible representations of color, in both   analog   and   digital   representations. A color is thus usually specified using three co-ordinates, or parameters. These parameters describe the position of the color within the color space being used. They do not tell us what the color is, that depends on what color space is being used. There are more than one color spaces for the applications. This is because different color spaces are better for different applications, for

skin color type_ITA There are many methods to detect the skin health, skin surface properties, skin color, skin color type, and hair conditions. They are non-intrusive. The following is the method to figure out the skin color type.  Skin color type 1.    Fizpatrick skin types Questionnaire designed by Dr. Thomas B. Fitpatrick in 1975. Fizpatrick skin types Type I       Celtic type                   0-150 Type II.    Caucasian white          50-250 Type III    Mixed type                 100-350 Type IV    Mediterranean type    150-500 Type V     Asian/ Indian skin      150-650 Type VI    Black skin                  600-999 2.    ITA 0 (individual typology angle) calculation CIE colorimetry =[Arc Tangent ((L*-50)/b*)] x 180/ π Very light                  ITA 0  > 55 0 Light                 40 0 < ITA 0 <55 0 Intermediate      28 0 < ITA 0 <41 0 Tan/matt            10 0 < ITA 0 <28 0 Brown              -30 0 < ITA

Because this part does't have  Melanocyte  i n stratum basale, the nail is transparent. The nail care is like the skin care should to prevent damage the  Cormeocyte which is appearance of nail. As it is damaged, It will lose the protection and need   more time to recover than skin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- help to find the specific skincare product ingredients by "skin+" App
