UVA protection
Shields from sun damage
UVA protection refers to shielding against ultraviolet A radiation, the longer-wavelength UV light that penetrates deep into skin and causes aging, wrinkles, and contributes to skin cancer.
Sunscreens advertising broad-spectrum or UVA protection block these rays in addition to the shorter UVB rays that cause sunburn.
Window glass blocks UVB but allows UVA to pass through.
