PA – Abbreviation for Protection Grade of UVA established by the Japanese. It basically informs users of  the level of protection towards UVA rays.

PA+ means the sunscreen provides some protection against UVA rays, PA++ indicates moderate protection while PA+++ shows very good protective abilities against UVA rays. Since UVA causes long term skin damage, it is therefore advisable to go for sunscreens with the highest PA rating.

just googled it.

So PA and SPF pretty much does the same thing?
