“Sunscreen Safety” Campaign

Evergreen (no expiration date)

Program Description: Not all sunscreens are created equal. The information included in this FDA PSA will help consumers decide how to buy and use sunscreen, and allow them to more effectively protect themselves and their families from sun damage.   Consumers should use sunscreens that have an SPF of 15 or higher and list broad spectrum on the label to protect against harmful ultraviolet A and B rays. For more information and resources visit www.fda.gov/sunscreen.

Campaign Mission:

• Educate viewers about the risks of spending time in the sun.
• Encourage consumers to use broad spectrum sunscreen products with an SPF of 15 or higher, due to the increase risk of skin cancer and early skin aging
• Provide a website for more sun safety information and resources at www.fda.gov/sunscreen.
