Abstract	:	The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been more proactive in regulating sunscreen products. In 2011, the FDA publicized a set of new requirements for marketing over-the-counter sunscreens in the United States. The primary goal of the new FDA requirements was to provide consumers with a clear understanding of the level of protection actually provided by a sunscreen. Furthermore, information about protection against ultraviolet A radiation, associated with early aging and skin cancer, was to be clarified. With the new regulations, sunscreen products that provide protection against ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B would be allowed to be marketed as broad-spectrum sunscreen [1].
