PA+++ indicates a high level of protection against UVA rays in a sunscreen. This rating system, known as the "Protection Grade of UVA," is primarily used in Asian countries.
Here's a breakdown of the PA system:
- PA+: Some UVA protection
- PA++: Moderate UVA protection
- PA+++: High UVA protection
- PA++++: Very high UVA protection
Why is UVA protection important?
UVA rays are responsible for premature aging, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. While UVB rays cause sunburn, UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and contribute to long-term damage.
Choosing a sunscreen with a high PA rating like PA+++ ensures you have strong protection against UVA rays and can help maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin.
