I've been told that sunscreen products are treated as otc drugs, and must be manufactured in a federally approved facility. However, I've noticed some great spf products (for example JOHN MASTERS ORGANICS, and a few at SKIN- PERFECTION). My question is; where did they get theirs? If anyone has an answer or a source to such products (private label), please let me know! Thanks, Deanna See More
