On that note, did you know that the FDA enacted new regulations on sunscreen manufacturers? The goal of these measures is to aid in the public's understanding of what exactly they are getting from each sun protection product on the shelf. They also serve to protect consumers from inaccurate labeling, which has long been considered to be highly confusing & often misleading. Products can no longer claim to be "sunblocks" or claim to provide instant protection. The terms "waterproof" and "sweat proof" are also no longer allowed. Testing must be performed to decide if a product is "water resistant"- if passed, the label must clearly indicate how long the resistance will last; either 40 or 80 minutes.
