SPF and the Chemicals used to make high SPF products:

A higher SPF rating requires a lot more sunscreen chemicals for not a lot more hours of sun protection.

SPF 15 blocks 93% while SPF 30 blocks 97% of UV radiation.
SPF 15 means that if i burn after 15 minutes of direct sun exposure I will be protected by SPF15 for about4 hours. If i used SPF30 I would be protected for about 8 hours.

Thickness of sunscreen applied will increase the length of protection time. If you are thinking wow its twice as strong you are correct – however this increase in time between applications means that some pretty scary chemicals are used – below is a list of ingredients based on weight used in a typical SPF30/50 sunscreen – NONE of these are in Perrin Naturals Sunscreen. In Australia not all of these will be listed on your sunscreen label because its not required by law.
