That even included Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who back in 2023 said the government should step in to help, pointing out that many sunscreen ingredients used overseas for decades were still awaiting FDA approval in the U.S.,
And now the FDA has cleared the way for one of those ingredients.
It's called bimotrizinol, and dermatologists say it has a few advantages over what's currently available.
It rubs into the skin without leaving a visible white cast.
It's better for sensitive skin.
And it lasts longer in the sun without breaking down.

That's different from many other countries that regulate it as a cosmetic product.
It's not clear just yet when you might start seeing products with bimotrizinol on the shelf in the U.S.
For now, though, one dermatologist told The Times the products that are out there without it are perfectly good.
