Quick Reference

The IRS allows expenses paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease as qualified medical expenses. Products containing SPF are considered preventative measures against sun damage and skin cancer, thus falling under the 'prevention of disease' category.

When It Qualifies

  • The product must contain SPF for sun protection.
  • While not explicitly stated by the IRS, many administrators consider products with an SPF of 15 or higher to be eligible.

When It Doesn't

  • Moisturizers without SPF are generally not eligible.
  • Products primarily for cosmetic purposes are not eligible.
