Good news: A new sunscreen filter ingredient is approved by U.S. FDA, more than 30 years after the last one was approved (before FDA rule changes that make it unclear what manufacturers even have to test for to get a new ingredient approved), and it causes nearly no skin irritation nor is it absorbed into bloodstream
Bad news: It's bemotrizol, an ingredient that has been in use for over 25 years in rest of the world. It's one of the newer filters that made Korean sunscreens way less irritating. It's so old, the patents have long expired.
Worse news: The approved version is a specific patented version of bemotrizol bound to a gel and is very expensive, it likely will only be used in super expensive sunscreens that you have to talk to a saleswoman in Nordstrom to buy.
How do you feel about this development, /fa/?
