American consumers should be provided with the same options. 

The introduction of this legislation is an important step forward in the fight against melanoma. To encourage support, our partners at the Skin Cancer Foundation have begun a letter writing campaign. Please take three minutes to send a message to your members of Congress, telling them that the Sunscreen Innovation Act could save lives. Click here to send your letter.
