Question: What does "meets European requirements" mean?


Answer:

Sunscreens will sometimes have "meets European requirements" on the label. This simply means that the PPD of the sunscreen is at least 1/3 of the SPF. It helps ensure that a sunscreen will have more broad-spectrum protection.

It is the requirement for sunscreens in Europe.
