When shopping for sunscreen, you may have seen the term "PA" and wondered what it meant. PA is a sunscreen rating system that was developed in Japan and is now used in Korea as well. In this blog post, we'll explain what PA is and how to interpret the rating so that you can find the right sunscreen for your needs.
The PA Rating System
The PA system is a measure of a sunscreen's ability to protect skin from ultraviolet A (UVA) rays. The higher the PA rating, the greater the protection.
Here's how the ratings work:
PA+: protects against some UVA rays
PA++: protects against more UVA rays than PA+
PA+++: protects against even more UVA rays than PA++
So, if you're looking for a sunscreen with high levels of protection, you should choose one that has a higher PA rating.
It's important to note that not all sunscreens are required to have a PA rating. In fact, many companies don't include one on their packaging. However, if a sunscreen does have a PA rating, it will always be placed prominently on the front of the package.
Now that you know what the PA rating system is and how to read it, you can be sure to choose a Korean sunscreen that offers the level of protection you need. So enjoy your summertime activities without worrying about getting sunburned!
