SPF 50 HIGHEST LABEL. SPF 50 is now the highest assigned SPF value permissible. There is insufficient evidence that higher SPF’s provide sufficient protection.
CANCER PROTECTION ONLY at SPF 15 of HIGHER. Products must be broad spectrum (both UVA-A & UV-B ray protection) & have an SPF of 15 or higher to claim they protect against skin cancer and premature aging. SPF lower than 15 can only say they protect against sunburn.
CAN’T SAY WATERPROOF Waterproof, sweatproof, and sunblock are prohibited terms. They cannot claim more than 2 hrs. of protection without the need to reapply. They can still say “water resistant” if they state how many minutes after sweating or swimming you will be required to reapply.
