FDA approves bemotrizinol for OTC sunscreens
The FDA grants approval for the first new chemical UV filter in nearly 30 years, ending a long regulatory drought for U.S. sunscreen ingredients.
The FDA’s approval of bemotrizinol opens the door for U.S. sunscreen brands to offer more advanced, photostable formulas that have long been available in Europe and Asia. Retailers can expect a wave of product launches and a shift in consumer preferences toward this next-generation UV filter.
The FDA’s approval of bemotrizinol, a chemical UV filter already widely used in other countries, represents a long-awaited regulatory milestone for the dermatology and OTC pharmaceutical industry. The decision signals a potential shift in the agency's approach to new sunscreen actives, with implications for ongoing GRASE reviews and future formulations.
The FDA has approved bemotrizinol, a broad-spectrum UV filter used in Europe and Asia, marking the first new chemical sunscreen ingredient in the U.S. in nearly three decades. Dermatologists praise its photostability and dual protection, which could improve skin cancer prevention and reduce irritation associated with avobenzone.
