Federal health regulators on Tuesday signed off on the first new sunscreen ingredient for the U.S. market in more than 25 years, giving Americans access to a skin-protecting chemical long used in Europe and other parts of the world.
The Food and Drug Administration says the ingredient, bemotrizinol, met the agency’s standards for protecting from dangerous ultraviolet rays while causing little irritation or absorption into the skin. The ingredient is safe for adults and children 6 months and older, the agency stated in a release.
Bemotrizinol will initially be sold in the U.S. by the Dutch manufacturer DSM Nutritional Products under the brand name Parsol Shield, which is expected to launch later in the year. After an 18-month exclusivity period, the ingredient will be available for use by other manufacturers.
I will believe it when I hear it from them.
Be content to sit in the dark then.
No one is going to deliver this info to you on a silver platter, especially if you’re unwilling to search for the info yourself.
I do embrace the darkness, it’s not evil, not bad, without the darkness there would be no life.
But if you mean to speak ignorance, ha. The government is not a reliable source, the mercenary science outfits that serve corpos aren’t either.
So what is your point here? Because the government and corpos tell you something is safe I can’t wait until a credible source confirms it? How dare I express distrust in the system?
Either of those questions from you, would discredit you.
No one is stopping you from going out in the sun with no protection and getting as much skin cancer as you can possibly soak up.
Spreading doubt without information is conspiracy theory-minded. Bring some data to back up your assertions before you start turning people away from something that has helped save lives.
