This document highlights the facts, figures and leading industry opinion on the global sun care sector. The author provides a history of sun protection labelling from its inception to the present day before looking at the potential methods to further the sun care sector's aim of protecting the consumer against the negative effects of solar radiation.

The document sees the leading commentators in sun care protection present their opinions on the recent issues faced worldwide and how sun care regulation functions in reality. Finally, the author addresses alternative testing methods, whether sun care labelling can be harmonised internationally and how the future of sun protection can evolve.

This document looks to bring together the leading information to provide a platform for the industry to review, change and/or hone current practices to ensure that the future of sun care protection continues to bring practicality, feasibility and relevancy closer to its core.
