A new report has found that there is deeply embedded information failure affecting consumers of sunscreen lotions, In a survey of 2,000 UK adults, one in five was unaware that the SPF rating does not mean protection against all sun damage - only that from UVB rays. Both UVB and UVA rays from the sun can cause skin cancer. Read more about this example of information failure here http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-33272420
