Federal health regulators on Tuesday signed off on the first new sunscreen ingredient for the U.S. market in more than 25 years, giving Americans access to a skin-protecting chemical long used in Europe and other parts of the world.
The Food and Drug Administration says the ingredient, bemotrizinol, met the agency’s standards for protecting from dangerous ultraviolet rays while causing little irritation or absorption into the skin. The ingredient is safe for adults and children 6 months and older, the agency stated in a release.
Bemotrizinol will initially be sold in the U.S. by the Dutch manufacturer DSM Nutritional Products under the brand name Parsol Shield, which is expected to launch later in the year. After an 18-month exclusivity period, the ingredient will be available for use by other manufacturers.
It’s not good news because no one is regulating shit.
Scammers will claim to be selling this knowing US consumers won’t ask questions if they expect it to be different. Some jackass will just use cooking oil and sell it for $20 a can.
If we got Korean quality sunscreen, yeah, that’d be great.
But if you think that’s what’s happening here…
You can get Asian stuff which already have a trusted reputation.
