At Waikiki Aloe, we believe the SPF number is merely a "guide", and that many other things need to be taken into consideration. The surrounding ingredients in a product, especially if they are oil-based, are just as important, if not more so, than the SPF number. Excessive perspiration, sun-sensitizing medications, and tanning during peak sunlight are all key factors. Further, if you live in acold climate and are on a tropical winter vacation, your skin is much more sensitive than it would be at summer's end at home, after your skin has had a month or two of regular sunshine to "condition" itself. In addition, skin tones are not equal, and someone with pink tones cannot handle as much sun as someone with darker tones. These factors make tanning and burning more complex.

However, it doesn't happen instantly, and many people of all skin tones end up overdosing on ultraviolet exposure. They end up burning the outer layer of skin before the melanin has time to "rise to the occasion."

Finally, note that all sunscreen ingredients are strong chemicals. These chemicals are ultimately absorbed through the skin. Higher SPF numbers mean more chemicals are absorbed by the skin. Sunscreens can use fewer chemicals by eliminating oily in
