- Mineral Sunscreen
How prepared are you for summer? If you'll be spending time at the beach this summer, be sure to pack the sunscreen! These products are eligible as long as they offer broad-spectrum protection against UVA/UVB rays, and offer a sun protection factor (SPF) of 15 or above. Mineral sunscreen is not absorbed into the skin, does not degrade over time because of UVA/UVB rays, and is effective immediately after application.
- Lip Balm with SPF 15+
In addition to sunscreen, make sure your lips are protected all summer long as well! Lip balm is only FSA-eligible with an SPF 15 or above, so use your FSA funds to refresh the look of your lips and keep them protected from sun damage.
