I pondered whether the sunscreen on the second page is a real product, but it’s juuust generic enough that it could be anything. Found these after just a little bit of Googling, for example:
As for Riko’s question on the last page, one idly wonders if Japanese people actually know what SPF stands for. To answer, it’s the “Sun Protection Factor”, which is a measure of the fraction of UV rays will pass through - SPF 50 means 1/50th will get through. Higher numbers are better, though experts here in Australia suggest that grades above 50 shouldn’t be sold because they give a false sense of security - SPF 100 sounds like it’s twice as good as SPF 50, so people stay out in the sun longer, reapply it less often, and so forth. In actual fact, it’s only a one percentage point improvement. It’s better, certainly, but it doesn’t make you invincible.
