Man, they didn't even bring up the nonsense that is the SPF numbers themselves. The FDA recommends 15 for everyone except those with exceptionally pale skin (the difference between the two is SPF 15 blocks 93% of UVB rays and SPF 30 blocks 97%) and asserts that anything over 30 is completely useless and not officially approved by the FDA at all.
