What are the new regulations for sunscreen labels?

Congress is working to update how sunscreen will soon be rated for both UVA and UVB rays.  SPF numbers only measure a product’s ability to block UVB rays (the main cause of sunburn) so many consumers do not understand how well their sunscreen protects from cancer-causing UVA rays.  The SUN Act would force the FDA to put in place a measure for manufacturers to test their sunscreens for UVA-blocking power and adhere these ratings to all packaging.  We fully support this much needed change in suncare industry.
