Americans now have access to bemotrizinol, a new sunscreen ingredient approved by the FDA in June after decades of use in Europe. This chemical offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB protection without the cosmetic drawbacks of mineral sunscreens like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, such as white streaking. Bemotrizinol also boasts a favorable safety profile, with minimal skin absorption compared to older chemical ingredients like oxybenzone, which was recently de-listed by the FDA. AI
