FDA Approves New Sunscreen Ingredient | Science News

from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

FDA just approved a game-changing sunscreen ingredient called bemotrizinol — the first new chemical in 20 years. Already used in Europe and Australia, it’s more stable, lasts longer, and offers superior UVA protection — especially against aging and deep skin damage. Dermatologists love it because it’s less likely to be absorbed into the bloodstream. It’s officially GRASE, same as zinc oxide, and hits shelves by August 9th. But remember: sunscreen alone isn’t enough — cover up, wear hats, seek shade. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
