Your Skin Care Questions Answered: SPF Factor

Q.

Merlot Moisturizer states that it has SPF.  Does it block both UVA and UVB rays?

– James S.

A.

Merlot Moisturizer does help protect against UVB rays.  To get the best full spectrum protection it’s best to choose a true sunscreen that contains stabilized avobenzone.  That will help absorb light from the UVA range.

Merlot makes four products that contain SPF: Merlot Moisturizer, Body Firming Lotion, Hand Cream Plus Sanitizer, and Lip Moisturizer.  For these products, the SPF factor functions as an added benefit.
