FDA OKs FIRST NEW SUNSCREEN INGREDIENT IN 25 YEARS #dermreacts

[00:00:00]I have breaking health news tonight about sunscreen. Today the FDA approved a new ingredient here in the US that's been in use in Europe for a quarter of a century. See >> It's about time. We finally have a new FDA approved sunscreen filter for use in the United States that has been around for a long time. And if you've ever used a sunscreen from Europe or Asia, you've probably used this ingredient already. I have a ton of videos talking about it.

[00:00:25]What is it? Bemotrizinol, otherwise known as Tinosorb S. A quote-unquote chemical sunscreen active ingredient, although all ingredients are chemicals.

[00:00:33]It protects against not only UVB but UVA as well. So it's going to be a very useful tool for sunscreen manufacturers for creating broad-spectrum sunscreens.

[00:00:42]Having another sunscreen ingredient for chemical sunscreens is great, is a game-changer for US sunscreen makers because it allows them in theory to make sunscreens that are more cosmetically elegant and possibly less irritating.

[00:00:56]Bemotrizinol specifically generally is pretty well tolerated due to its size.

[00:01:00]It's also photostable, so for the manufacturer that's probably a lot easier to work with. Skin care brands, who's going to be the first one? Who's going to be the first one?

[00:01:11]Get on it. Get on it. No pressure.
