American Academy of Dermatology Association Statement on FDA Proposal for New Sunscreen Ingredient

Summary: The FDA is finally proposing a new sunscreen ingredient for the first time in over 20 years! The American Academy of Dermatology is thrilled because the U.S. has been way behind other countries when it comes to sunscreen options. Unprotected sun exposure is a huge risk for skin cancer, which affects one in five Americans. Dermatologists remind everyone to use broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher, seek shade, and wear protective clothing to stay safe.
