Skin Cancer
The three most common skin cancers are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma — all linked to cumulative UV exposure.
Skin Cancer explained
1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime (AAD). UV is classified as a Group 1 carcinogen by the IARC. Daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ has been shown in randomized trials (Green et al., 2011) to reduce melanoma risk by up to 50%.
