Ultraguard 30 & 40 as a sunscreen provide the following :

Daily application of sunscreen is the ideal way to prevent UV damage.

Studies assessing SPF of sunscreens use 2 mg/cm; however, patients usually apply only about 0.5 to 1.5 mg/cm. An easy way to achieve this concentration of 2 mg/cm[2] is to use the teaspoon rule of application: greater than one‐half teaspoon should be applied to each arm and also to the head and neck, and greater than one teaspoon should be applied to each leg, the chest, and the back (total amount used is approximately 5.5 to 6 teaspoons).

The relationship between the amount of sunscreen applied and SPF is not linear, so at small quantities sunscreens quickly lose their protective value In fact, using only 1 mg/cm of an SPF 25 sunscreen results in an SPF of 7.

Reapplication takes on added significance considering the common initial failure to use the recommended amount. Current guidelines indicate that individuals should apply sunscreen approximately 30 minutes prior to sun exposure and then every 2 to 3 hours thereafter.

Further more, reapplication is warranted after any vigorous activity that removes sunscreen (swimming, toweling, sweating, etc.). Using sunscreens that are waterproof, water resistant, or sweat resistant can help prevent this loss of protection.

Water Resistant	Maintains SPF for atleast 40 minutes of water exposure
Waterproof*	Maintains SPF for atleast 80 minutes of water exposure
Sweat Resistant	Maintains SPF for atleast 30 minutes of heavy sweating
* Includes Sunscreens labeled as " very water resistant"

As a general rule, babies 6 months of age or younger should not have sunscreen applied to their skin because their bodies may not be capable of tolerating the chemicals in sunscreens. Instead, they should be kept away from sun exposure.
Everyone over 6 months of age should use a sunscreen regularly unless their doctor decides it would be better to protect the skin in other ways.

Pregnant women can have an increased sensitivity to the sun and be more susceptible to burning. Sunscreen can, and should, be used by pregnant women. Women should apply the sunscreen at regular intervals to ensure constant coverage

Nursing mothers can use sunscreens very safely as it does not have any systemic absorption.

There are no adverse reactions to the Sunscreens. But the sunscreens should not be used if you are allergic to any of the active ingredients in the formulation.
