CVS Only Selling Sunscreen With SPF 15 Or Higher

WOONSOCKET, R.I. (CBS) -- CVS is taking some sunscreens off the shelves in the name of better skin health.

The Rhode Island-based retailer says it will only sell suntan lotion with an SPF of 15 or higher.

It also plans to add more organic and natural options as part of its skincare line.

SPF 15 is the FDA's minimum recommendation.

CVS is teaming up with the American Cancer Society and Johnson & Johnson to raise awareness about skin health.
