Quick Reference

The IRS considers sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher and broad-spectrum protection to be a qualified medical expense. This is because it is used to prevent sun damage, sunburn, and reduce the risk of skin cancer, which are considered medical conditions or their prevention.

When It Qualifies

  • Must have a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 15 or higher.
  • Must provide broad-spectrum protection (protects against both UVA and UVB rays).

When It Doesn't

  • Sunscreen with an SPF lower than 15.
  • Sunscreen that does not offer broad-spectrum protection.
  • Products primarily for cosmetic purposes that do not meet the SPF and broad-spectrum criteria.
