Finally! Ive been waiting and importing sunscreens for years

This is a big deal

If youre not wearing sunscreen daily, especially so if in the southern half of the us, you ought to be. The worlds sunscreens outside of the us are much more enjoyable and protective to wear than whats previously been approved in the us.

Theres still many great filters not yet approved, ill probably still be importing, i personally settled on the Reimann P20 sensitive skin - but ill definitely be checking out the new bemt filters as they come on US shelves to both save the environmental impact of shipping from europe and cost

What's better about them? Just curious.

Seems to be considered reef safe, too.

This is great news, thanks for posting.

The last paragraph in the article indicates that availability won't be immediate, but still a welcome change.

Sunscreens with bemotrizinol are expected to be available by the end of the year, according to the ingredient manufacturer DSM-Firmenich.
