    I changed to Calypso from P20 (I get prickly heat with normal sun cream) and don't see any difference between the products apart from the price tbh. Bodycare and Aldi usually sell it.

    What is the UVA rating (# of stars) on Calypso sun cream?
    I only buy sun protection products with 5 stars.

    Where can I find the UVA star rating?

    Most sunscreens in the UK feature a UVA star rating on their packaging but it is not available on all sunscreens. This is because it is an independent retailer initiative. Our Calypso sunscreens do not currently provide a UVA star rating, although as it has grown in consumer popularity, we are looking at introducing it in the near future. We do have a UVA symbol circled on the packaging. This shows the consumer that the product complies with EU recommendations for product safety.

    Not for me then.
