Abstract
A broad range of UV filters are available for use in sunscreen products. Knowledge of UV filters available both domestically and abroad remains important, since these products can be found in the online marketplace and may be included in future FDA monographs as a shift is made to an administrative order process. We reviewed the mechanism and safety data of all US and EU approved UV filters. Currently, there are 17 US FDA approved UV filters while the EU possesses an additional 16 UV filters. Of the US filters, 88.2% (15/17) are organic and 11.8% (2/17) are inorganic filters, with 35.3% (6/17) broad-spectrum, 52.9% (9/17) UVB only, and 11.8% (2/17) UVA only.
