[Sun care] Today I learned that a lot of sunscreen filters do not protect in the UVA1 range.

Beauty Tips For Body Care
Today as I was reading up on some sunscreens i stumbled upon the fact that a lot of sunscreen filters do not protect against the upper end of the UVA1 spectrum. It started with the discovery that PA and PPD ratings primarily focus on the UVA2 spectrum and not the UVA1 spectrum. So you can get a PA++++ rating with out protecting skin against the majority of the UVA1 range. I started looking for sunscreen filters that do protect against the majority of UVA1 rays and all I could find was avobenzone, Zinc oxide, and Tinosorb M. Does anyone know any more information on this subject? Also I was trying to find an Asian sunscreen with Tinosorb M and came up with nothing...
