The CTFA added that the FDA requires significant safety and efficacy data on every active ingredient before it is approved for use in a sunscreen product and that the FDA has broad authority to inspect manufacturers, require strict manufacturing practices, and enforce rigorous, science-based regulations to ensure that sunscreen products are safe and effective for consumers.

The CTFA says it has worked closely with the FDA to ensure science-based regulations that protect consumers and ensure that sunscreens are safe and effective.
