Melanoma Monday

Did you know that the difference between SPF 30 and 50 is so marginal (1.3%) that it does not make a noticeable difference in UVB protection? A common misconception is that the higher the SPF, the longer time can be spent in the sun. 

Philippa Parnevik suffered from skin cancer and underwent surgery at several places a couple of years ago. Skinplan's founder knew this and when SunControl was in process, she contacted Philippa to get her input. Since then, Philippa has been involved in the creative process.

Philippa, who has a degree in sustainable fashion and also works with it, has been involved in developing the bottle's design with the smart UVB meter. You just point the bottle at the sun and then the indicator shows how long you can stay in the sun.

“The sun is strong and unforgiving. The skin care industry must give more respect for it. I can proudly say that SunControl is a game changer and I am happy to be a part of the project. ” says Philippa Parnevik.

Sun Control from Skin Plan provides 98% protection against the sun's UVB rays. It contains Vitamin E, betaine, ectoin, sweet almond oil and karanja oil. Read more at skinplan.se.
