The Food and Drug Administration (FDA or Agency) is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry entitled ``Nonprescription Sunscreen Drug Products--Safety and Effectiveness Data.'' This guidance addresses FDA's current thinking on the safety and effectiveness data needed to determine whether a nonprescription sunscreen active ingredient or combination of active ingredients evaluated under the Sunscreen Innovation Act (SIA) is generally recognized as safe and effective (GRASE) and not misbranded when used under specified conditions. The guidance also addresses FDA's current thinking about an approach to safety-related final formulation testing that the Agency anticipates adopting in the future.
