4, 15, and 30 are good Sun Protection Factors for kids as they contain no "Bad Ingredients".
SPF 50+ should not be used on young children.
SPF 100+ can not be used on children under 13.
The highest SPF I have located is 110 for both Face and Body: Face: Neutrogena Age Shield Face - SPF 110 Body: Banana Boat Kids Max Protect & Play Continuous Spray Sunscreen SPF 110 Banana Boat Ultra Defense Sunscreen Lotion SPF 110 Banana Boat UltraMist Sport Performance Sunscreen SPF 110
"The sun protection factor of a sunscreen is a laboratory measure of the effectiveness of sunscreen --- the higher the SPF, the more protection a sunscreen offers against UV-B (the ultraviolet radiation that causes sunburn)."
dont try to make it lighter, use a sunscreen with good spf to protect it.
Assuming the question is asking about sunscreen SPF, it stands for sun protection factor. This is put on sunscreen bottles to show the consumer how strong the sunscreen is.

To calculate the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) for sunscreen products, you divide the amount of time it takes for skin to burn without sunscreen by the amount of time it takes with sunscreen. For example, if it takes 10 minutes to burn without sunscreen and 150 minutes with sunscreen, the SPF would be 150/10 15.
No. SPF 30 lets in 1/30 of burning UV rays, while SPF 50 lets in 1/50. Adding the two together is pointless and would not result in high levels of skin protection.
A million SPF
The SPF number in sunscreen indicates its level of protection against UVB rays, which cause sunburn. The higher the SPF number, the greater the protection. For example, SPF 30 blocks about 97 of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98. This means that a higher SPF number offers more sun protection.
It does. The higher the SPF, the higher UV protection it contains. Let's say you have a sunscreen with a 30 SPF and one with 60, the one with 60 offers more protection.
It is proven that people with light skins, are best protected when using a SPF 50 sunscreen and upwards. Sunscreen has SPF ranging from 8, all the way up to 70. Depending on your skin tone, it is better to be too careful by protecting with a high number SPF.
I am not sure if you are looking for specific brands, but my understanding is that really dark skinned/black people need a sunscreen with spf ranging from 8-16
