Manola Health is a professional salon brand featuring sun care products created in Australia to manage the effects of exposure to high UV radiation.  

At Manola Health we specialise in sun protection formulations to prevent premature ageing of the skin with the knowledge that regular use of sun protection may assist in the prevention of some skin cancers, solar keratosis and sun spots, a good reason to incorporate it into your daily routine!

No one sunscreen is suitable for every purpose which is why Manola have created a small family of products… whether you are looking for an efficient sun screen for daily use, or one for active outdoor sports we’ve got you covered! 

SPF or Sun Protection Factor relates to the amount of time it takes for redness to appear on the skin compared to when no product is used at all. For example, if it takes 10 minutes for unprotected skin to show redness, then an SPF30 sunscreen correctly applied, in theory, will take 30 times longer or 300 minutes to burn.

Laboratory tests are conducted to determine the rating of the SPF. Interestingly SPF50+ filters out 98% of UVB radiation, while SPF30 still blocks out 96.7% of UVB but the 50+ allows a longer exposure time.

It is recommended to apply sunscreen 20 minutes before being exposed to UV and to reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming, sweating or towel drying.

Other sun protection measures when UV levels are high are also helpful such as protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses as well as staying in the shade where possible.
