The US Senate Votes on Sunscreen Game-Changer

The "Over-the-Counter Monograph Drug User Fee Amendments’’

If you've traveled to Europe or Asia and have experienced their technologically advanced, highly effective sunscreens that feel great on the skin, I have some outstanding news. The US Senate took a major step toward bringing those game-changing UV filters to American shelves - FINALLY!

Last week, the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) unanimously passed Bill S.2292. This bipartisan legislation includes provisions to accelerate the review of innovative over-the-counter products, including cosmetic ingredients and sunscreen filters that are already approved in other countries but are currently unavailable to US consumers.
