I find it hard to believe that it's regulated and classified as an over the counter drug.
Is that an American thing?
Over the counter drugs can be sold outside of a pharmacy, it's more of a regulatory term than anything else. It mainly just means that the product needs to be labeled specifically in order to be called sunscreen, and must be tested by the FDA for its effectiveness. You can't just mix lotion and zinc together and call it sunscreen, you need to prove it actually works.
If that's all it means then the real problem here is the requirement the school has.
Not really, schools have to be highly restrictive of anything thats remotely classified as a "drug" due to the war on drugs.
I find it hard to believe too. I've seen mini sunscreen bottles being given away in events. We'll need a source for this.

It's complicated and weird, but yes it is.
