SunProtec is a dermatologically-tested sunblock that helps reduce the risk of skin damage and aging due to the too much exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by the sun. It can also help in the prevention other adverse effects of UV such as skin cancer.

SunProtec has an SPF (sun protection factor) ranging from 60 to 70 that signifies longer protection against UVB. SPF measures how much exposure your skin can take before it gets burnt with even with the application of the sunblock. 

SunProtec also has broad spectrum protection, which means that your skin is not only protected from UVB, but also from UVA, which is generally attributed now to cause skin cancer.
