And nobody's done the testing.
But they're about to get phased out anyway.
Like just as of a couple months ago, the government changed the rules and is going to let in for the first time
in 30 years, new ingredients, which they've been using in Europe and Asia and Australia for decades.
And the sunscreen companies have been asking to use them and haven't been allowed to.
But they're finally going to get to use one of the main ones.
So it's called, like, bemotrizinol or something.
And there's another one that you see in Europe called, like, Mexeril 400.
But they're way better.

Bemotrizinol, yeah.
Yeah, this one looks really good.
Yeah, they all bailed on it long ago because it was all we had.

So you have to do all this safety testing if you want to get a new ingredient in everywhere else.
They're just cosmetics.
