That means manufacturers can formulate lighter, non‑greasy sunscreens without the white cast typical of zinc‑oxide products. The first US product, Parsol Shield from DSM Nutritional Products, is slated for release later this year, with broader adoption expected within 18 months.\n\n- For consumers, the approval could finally close the gap between US and overseas sunscreen performance. Better UVA protection reduces long‑term skin aging risk, and the smoother feel may improve compliance. It also adds a third ingredient to the FDA’s GRASE list, joining zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.\n\n- The delay wasn’t technical; US regulators treat sunscreens as drugs, requiring more data than the cosmetic pathways used abroad. The 2020 CARES Act provided a shortcut for over‑the‑counter products, allowing bemotrizinol’s existing safety record to carry weight.","[\"sunscreen\",\"fda\",\"skincare\"]","2026-06-10T18:00:00.000Z","2026-06-10T19:32:20.936Z","2026-06-12T06:26:32.594Z","published","Publisher review could not be read (unparseable response); needs human review.",[24],{"id":25,"reviewer":26,"round":27,"reason":22,"status":28},"publisher-r1","publisher",1,"open","https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.xyz.onl\u002Farticle-images\u002Ffda-clears-new-uv-filter-bemotrizinol-for-us-sunscreens.webp",null,[32,33,34],"sunscreen","fda","skincare",[36],{"name":37,"url":38},"Lifehacker","https:\u002F\u002Flifehacker.com\u002Fhealth\u002Fnew-sunscreen-ingredient-fda-approved?utm_medium=RSS",0]
