Every product that a manufacturer submits for the Seal of Recommendation is rigorously reviewed by a committee of renowned photobiologists – experts in the study of the interaction of ultraviolet radiation and the skin. The entire committee must be completely satisfied with the testing results in order for a product to be granted the Seal. The members of The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Photobiology Committee are:

Chairman
Warwick L. Morison, MB, BS, MD, FRCP
Professor of Dermatology, Johns Hopkins Medical School at Green Spring, MD

John H. Epstein, MD
Clinical Professor of Dermatology, University of California at San Francisco

Heidi Jacobe, MD
Assistant Professor, Dermatology, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas

Henry W. Lim, MD
Chairman, Department of Dermatology, Henry Ford Medical Group, Detroit

Steven Q. Wang, MD
Director of Dermatologic Surgery and Dermatology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center at Basking Ridge, NJ

The Foundation initially created the Seal program for SPF 15+ sunscreens, but as sun protection technology has advanced it has expanded the program to include sun-protective products in a number of categories such as sunglasses, sun-protective clothing, umbrellas and awnings, UV window film, UV laundry additives, and sunroof materials.
