FDA Expands Sunscreen Options for the First Time in 20 Years to Add Bemotrizinol

Be careful because although bemotrizinol is likely safe as per the current understanding, when commercial products get introduced, it could conceivably get stacked with older unsafe active ingredients. You don't want a product that has even a single estrogenic, antiestrogenic, androgenic, or antiandrogenic chemical. Sticking to a toddler targeted product having zinc oxide 24% is the safest choice for the time being.

Finally! The stuff has been used in Europe for years now. Here's an article about from 2024 https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/05/18/1251919...

The irony here is that the CARES act was established to fast track vaccine approvals, which the MAHA administration is attempting to claw back.
