Summary
The FDA has approved bemotrizinol, the first new sunscreen ingredient for the U.S. market in over 25 years. The ingredient, long used in Europe and other parts of the world, meets FDA standards for protecting against dangerous UV rays while causing minimal skin irritation and absorption. It is deemed safe for adults and children 6 months and older, and will initially be sold under the brand name Parsol Shield. The approval highlights long-standing delays in the FDA's bureaucratic system for updating its list of safe sunscreen ingredients.
