Guide to Recommended Products
Look for products that have earned The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation. |
 |
To earn the Seal of Recommendation, a manufacturer must prove that its product sufficiently and safely "aids in the prevention of sun-induced damage to the skin."
The requirements include:
- A sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or greater
- Validation of the SPF number by testing on 20 people
- Acceptable test results for phototoxic reactions and contact irritation
- Substantiation for any claims that a sunscreen is water- or sweat-resistant
If you want to be assured that a sunscreen is effective, look for The Skin Cancer Foundation's Seal of Recommendation on the label.
