Executive Summary
The Environmental Working Group renews its call for a cap on SPF values at 50+, asking FDA to investigate whether anti-inflammatory ingredients added to sunscreen formulations are boosting SPFs without providing meaningful protection against UV damage. The NGO also recommends changes to the agency’s SPF testing requirements to improve the accuracy of labeled SPF claims.
