title: A dermatologist's perspective on the final sunscreen monograph.
abstract: The final sunscreen monograph, released on May 21, 1999, defined the upper limit for sun protection factor rating to 30+, revised the list of accepted active agents allowed in sunscreens, and changed the permissible wording of product labeling. These changes are important to the dermatologist who uses sunscreens as part of skin cancer prevention.
