# §352.50. Principal display panel of all sunscreen drug products.


In addition to the statement of identity required in [§ 352.52](/cfr/21/352.52.md), the following labeling statements shall be prominently placed on the principal display panel:

- (a) **For products that do not satisfy the water resistant or very water resistant sunscreen product testing procedures in § 352.76—**
  - (1) **For products with SPF values up to 30.** “SPF (insert tested SPF value of the product up to 30).”
  - (2) **For products with SPF values over 30.** “SPF 30” (select one of the following: “plus” or “ + ”). Any statement accompanying the marketed product that states a specific SPF value above 30 or similar language indicating a person can stay in the sun more than 30 times longer than without sunscreen will cause the product to be misbranded under [section 502](/cfr/21/502.md) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act).
- (b) **For products that satisfy the water resistant sunscreen product testing procedures in § 352.76.**
  - (1) (Select one of the following: “Water,” “Water/Sweat,” or “Water/Perspiration”) “Resistant.”
  - (2) “SPF (insert SPF value of the product, as stated in paragraph [(a)(1)](#a-1) or [(a)(2)](#a-2) of this section, after it has been tested using the water resistant sunscreen product testing procedures in [§ 352.76](/cfr/21/352.76.md)).”
- (c) **For products that satisfy the very water resistant sunscreen product testing procedures in § 352.76.**
  - (1) “Very” (select one of the following: “Water,” “Water/Sweat,” or “Water/Perspiration”) “Resistant.”
  - (2) “SPF (insert SPF value of the product, as stated in paragraph [(a)(1)](#a-1) or [(a)(2)](#a-2) of this section, after it has been tested using the very water resistant sunscreen product testing procedures in [§ 352.76](/cfr/21/352.76.md)).”
