UVA and UVB Protection

It's a well known fact that the sun's rays contain both harmful UVA and UVB light.

UVA and UVB refer to two different wavelengths of ultraviolet light. The dimension of UVA wavelength is approximately 400 to 320 nanometers; while UVB wavelength is approximately 320 to 290 nanometers. The dangers of UVB and UVA are determined by these numbers. For example, the smaller the number indicated; the shorter the wavelength, the greater the energy level of the light and the more skin damage it can cause.

I've been using Neutrogena's "Healthy Skin Glow Sheers--SPF 30." It doesn't say that it blocks UVA and UVB. Does it? If not, is there a makeup product that DOES block these rays? And where can I obtain it? pjbowen@cfl.rr.com
