Part of the regulations list new testing requirements for both UVA and UVB protection, as well as what is needed to earn the Broad Spectrum designation. While all Broad Spectrum sunscreens have UVA/UVB protection, the reverse is not necessarily true. UVA/UVB sunscreen can be over 15 SPF but not Broad Spectrum. "The new sunscreen guidelines list the testing requirements for both UVA and UVB sunscreens," explained Teresa Perdue, quality assurance director at Leashables by OraLabs. "Before we offer any sunscreen product, we will ensure our labeling claims are acceptable for the product manufactured."
