X is a measure of protection which is found on personal care products. There is a common misconception that X represents the number of minutes or hours of protection provided.
In reality, X is a relative number for the amount of protection provided, with the product only allowing for 1/X harmful effects. Hence, higher numbers don’t necessarily mean a significant protection.
