According to the FDA, in order to claim a specific SPF rating on a product, you have to adhere to Federal Government regulations and standards. Their standards for measuring SPF is to specify instructions to apply a consistent thickness of the product. This thickness is two milligrams per square centimeter; therefore, I would have to include instructions on my label as follows: “Evenly apply a liberal amount 15 minutes prior to sun exposure. Re-apply a liberal amount every two hours.” For a cosmetic foundation, this would not be reasonable or acceptable.

Our vendor only sells ingredients used for products applied to your body – nothing else!
