SPF Facts
You may think if the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is ‘higher’, then your sun protection must equivalently rise as well.
That isn’t the case.
While an SPF15 will block around 93 percent of UVB rays, doubling SPF to 30 will block 96.7 percent; SPF50 blocks 98 percent. That’s only a 4 and a 5 percent difference – not double (what the marketing of these products would have you believe).
Generally an SPF 15 is sufficient, especially if it can be worn when swimming. For maximum protection against prolonged exposure to the sun it is highly recommended to also wear protective clothing, a hat and effective sunglasses.
All sunscreens must be reapplied every two hours regardless of SPF.

Our ingredient choices
Simplicité Moisturiser with Sunscreen contains approved sunscreening agents along with significant amounts of nutritive, anti-toxin, soothing plant extracts to balance the formula. Sunscreening ingredients in this product have been approved by senior government scientists in the European Union, the USA, Australia, Canada, and Japan. They make their decisions after reviewing every known study. These scientists don't refer to internet articles to make their decisions. Neither is Simplicité swayed by internet conjecture, or out of context articles on certain ‘organic’ websites.
There are 2500 treatments per day in Australia for skin cancers. 2000 Australians die each year from skin cancer. Simplicité believes that it’s therefore irresponsible to argue the effectiveness or safety of approved sunscreen ingredients.
