FDA wants the labeling on your sunscreen to tell you more about protection against the sun's harmful rays.

Under a new regulation, the agency has proposed that sunscreen labeling be expanded to provide

a four-star rating system that informs consumers how well the product protects them against "Ultraviolet A" (UVA) light.Information on other ways people can limit their risks to dangers posed by overexposure to sunlight.
