Photobiology Committee
Scientific data for each product submitted for The Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation is rigorously reviewed by a volunteer committee of photobiologists – experts in the study of the interaction of ultraviolet radiation and the skin. It is their expertise and credibility in the field that make the Seal of Recommendation a trusted and valuable resource for consumers. The committee must be completely satisfied with the testing results for a product to be granted the Seal.
