SPF (Sun Protection) from a Soap?

In a recent article from the American Cancer Society - it reported cases of Skin Cancer have escalated as of lately. Why? It seems we are spending more time outdoors - and not using sunscreen. Even just taking a walk, checking the mail, or even a little gardening are exposing us to the suns harmful UV rays. Recently, we have been asked if a soap can give you protection from the sun's damaging rays? We checked with several manufactures, and the only one that responded to our request (http://www.AmazingSoap.com/), told us that a specialty soap such as their Sunscreen Soap can give you some protection for normal outside activities. However, it is not designed to give you protection from long outdoor activities such as going to the beach, or going on a hike, to give you a few examples. But hey, a little protection is better than none! Plus, you do not have to put on goopy sunscreen - this is done in a clean manner while in the shower using the soap.
