Abstract

We are taking the wrong approach to sun protection in the United States, particularly relative to skin of color. One of us has 20 years of clinical experience as a board-certified dermatologist, and the other is a medical student. Both of us have skin of color, and we can attest that currently available sunscreen products in the United States provide inadequate protection for non-white skin.
