Photodegradation of sun care products can be avoided, added the sun care company, by constant reapplying. The company also reports its new product line to include less chemical sunscreens. A typical 45 SPF product contains nearly 25 percent chemical sunscreen. The Hawaiian Tropic 60 SPF Sport, however, is reportedly only 12.5 percent chemical sunscreens. Hawaiian Tropic achieves a smaller percentage of chemical sunscreens in their products by using special combinations of ingredients and sunscreens.
