Deep Dive

Uvinul A Plus (BASF's trade name) is a photostable UVA filter with an even wider UVA spectrum than avobenzone. Common in modern EU, Japanese, and Korean sunscreens (often alongside Tinosorb S for synergistic coverage). The combination delivers UVA protection that US-market avobenzone products genuinely can't match. Further case for importing EU/Asian SPF.
