Summary
The FDA has approved bemotrizinol, a new chemical UV filter for sunscreens, marking the first such approval in nearly 30 years. The ingredient, already used for decades in Europe and Asia, offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection, high photostability, and a favorable safety profile. Dermatologists praise the approval as a significant advancement in sun protection for Americans, though the ingredient won't appear in stores until 2025 or later due to formulation and manufacturing timelines.
