Summer has a new set of rules. Effective June 2012, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations for over-the-counter sunscreens will change the way you prep for days spent in the sun. Even the name is changing—manufacturers can no longer identify products as “sunblock” or claim sunscreens as “waterproof” and “sweatproof.” Now, only the term “water resistant” may be used on labeling.
Why the label changes? By changing the way sunscreens are tested and marketed, the FDA is looking to achieve a single standard of safety and effectiveness, so people can choose the right sun protection for themselves and their families.
