Does it come in a higher SPF? SPF 35 seems low for my baby.

SPF really only addresses UVB light, but UVA light is just as dangerous, so it's important to buy a sunscreen that performs well in both (WebMD has a short article explaining this - http://www.webmd.com/beauty/sun/high-spf-sunscreens-are-they-better). Also, I no longer buy the Burn Out product because they changed their formula to a very sticky paste that doesn't apply easily. I prefer Thinkbaby SPF 50+ sunscreen (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CDQ73K/). Good luck!

The difference in sun protection in a sunscreen with an SPF higher than 35 is negligible, if applied correctly. (SPF 30 blocks 97%, SPF 50 blocks 98%, and SPF 100 blocks 99%, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, and the EWG) In addition, products with higher SPFs can contain more harmful ingredients. Also they are less likely to be applied correctly, because people assume they have more strength, so they may not be applied as heavily or as often. Here is a link from the Environmental Working Group to consider: http://www.ewg.org/2013sunscreen/whats-wrong-with-high-spf/

That depends on how much you add to your lotion. My understanding is that if you want an SPF of 20+, you need to use 25% of the weight of your initial amount of lotion. That is if you use 8 oz of lotion, you would need to add 2 oz of zinc oxide to get an SPF of 20 or so. That is my understanding. I mostly use this product for diaper cream. Oh, also zinc oxide shouldn't be ingested so when working with it, make sure not to inhale it.

No SPF,but you'll love the way it feels on your face. I use a moisturizer with 15 under it.

Sorry, but I threw away the box and the insert and I think that is what had the specifics on it. I looked at the jar and there is no mention of SPF. Still an excellent cream though!

Darcy, I actually switched from the 35 to the 50 about a month ago because the 50 had the titanium dioxide, which is supposed to block more. I am a fair-skinned red head. Unfortunately I just didn't think the titanium is that big of a difference. The texture to me was the same (have to rub in or it will leave a white tint). I am debating on going back to the sport 35 that I used before. I didn't get sunburnt with the 50, but didn't with the 35 either. The other thing is make sure you have no allergies to the titanium dioxide. I had my 13 year old (also fair skinned and red headed) use this (he had used the 35 before fine), and evidently he is allergic to the titanium dioxide. 12 hours after we put it on him, his neck had hives with a rash and itched like crazy! It lasted about a day and then was gone. So, I don't blame the sunscreen--we had just never used the titanium dioxide before and evidently won't again. Guess I'm just not a fan of the titanium dioxide. :( Also, I put it on my face and around my eyes with no problems. Hope this helps! --CJ

30SPF is the minimum advised by dermatologists for a sunscreen or sunblock. Intellishade provides an SPF of 45 which completely covers that minimum requirement.

Not sure. I did not buy the shirt with spf in mind. If this is not specified on the amazon product description try the Exoffficio website. This is one of my favorite and most worn shirts.

I don't know what UPF is. If you meant SPF, Sun Protective Factor, blocking 96% of UV A and B is great, at least 30% SPF but probably better as it's actually blocking, not absorbing as sunscreens often do. There is a *distinct* difference between this and any other umbrella I've used. It's VERY effective.

No, its pretty dry a few minutes after application. I also have a 40 SPF product from same company that is very effective but I might call that one a bit "tacky"

Only the yellow "lemon drop" kind does, at SPF 15, but that kind is not included in this package. It is, however, available elsewhere on Amazon. Also, each sphere lasts a really long time (over a year for me, and I use it daily)! I recommend this product for sure. :o)

My jar doesn't say SPF on it either. If it had SPF that wouldn't be too bad either because I wear this day and night. I like it much better than the daytime version.

I think with spf you can't stay in the sun a lot because you will still get sun damage. I used this at the beach in the summer for a couple of hours and I was fine but did not stay the whole day in the sun. I find that only a couple of hours in the sun every day with spf and I will still get darker as I tan easily even tho have fair-light skin!!! Hope that helps:)

Hi Lisa, I'm so happy you're using an SPF! Everyone needs to as their last step. Just make sure you allow 5 minutes or so for Aria moisturizer to fully absorb and then add the moisturizer with SPF. Nice to hear from you and thanks so much for the wonderful comments you left. I was thrilled to read our serum is the only product you ever purchased twice! We seem to be living in a hyper-critical world so every kind word is refreshing and greatly appreciated! Thanks again and let me know if you need anymore help. Best, Lois

I don't think so. I had the same question. I bought Radiance, which has spf sunscreen. check it out. Burt's Bees Radiance Day Lotion SPF 7, 2.0 Oz, 55 g

I don't think it does. I know the same brand makes the same type of bb cream specifically with spf in the name and it is a little more expensive. But this bb cream is the best I have used so far.

Yes, but with a caveat: SPF 35 is sufficient, as long as you apply enough and reapply every couple hours or after getting wet. SPF higher than 30 doesn't provide significantly more benefit, since SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays and SPF 100 (which I don't think they're legally even allowed to claim anymore) only blocks 99%. That's a lot more active ingredient for really marginal benefit. So just find a sunblock your skin doesn't hate, and use a TON of it, and you'll be good.
