Quick Reference

The IRS considers sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or greater to be a qualified medical expense. This is because it protects against sun damage and helps reduce the risk of skin cancer, making it a preventative health measure.

When It Qualifies

  • The sunscreen must have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or greater.

When It Doesn't

  • Sunscreen products with an SPF less than 15 are not eligible.
  • Cosmetic products that incidentally contain SPF but are not primarily for sun protection may not be eligible.
