Abstract
A modest investment in prevention produced substantial savings in illness-related costs. The FDA recently released its final orders concerning the labeling of sunscreen. The final monograph updates the tentative final monograph regarding over the counter (OTC) sunscreen products. Among the labeling standards are removals of the term "sun block" inclusion of a statement detailing the importance of sunscreen to prevent harmful effects of the sun, three sun protection categories: minimum, moderate, high, a new SPF category of 30+ for products with SPF values greater than 30, uniform, and streamlined labeling for all sunscreens.
