Abstract
AbstractSun protection products serve as part of a strategy to prevent photoinduced skin cancers. The products currently on the market vary considerably, both in terms of their galenic formulation and their composition. Some are formulated using organic UV filters, some using mineral UV filters, and some using a mixture of both types. In this context, healthcare professionals, particularly dermatologists and pharmacists, are faced with selecting the product best suited to the patient/user, especially during summer. Our aim here is to establish a decision tree to enable an informed choice.
