Executive Summary
DHA EFFICACY AS SINGLE AGENT UVA SUNSCREEN is demonstrated by recent studies, Estee Lauder maintained in a July 27 citizen petition to FDA. Lauder's petition seeks to amend the tentative final monograph on sunscreens to include dihydroxyacetone (DHA) alone as a Category I sunscreen for protection against UVA radiation. The petition cites three studies to demonstrate the ingredient's efficacy as a UVA protectant.
