deposited in the upper lungs, so that number is probably a good guide, as most of the sprays
that are currently available have particles much larger than that. The FDA is also taking
a closer look at powders (for the same inhalation-risk concerns), and it’s proposed that
sunscreen-containing wipes and body washes will have to seek FDA approval as entirely
new drugs, since these never had to get specifi c FDA clearance before.
The good news is that more answers are coming soon. That November 2019 deadline
is looming. After that, the FDA will allow sunscreen makers an implementation period
(about one year) to switch gears and put any changes into eff ect. “Until then, the Academy
of Dermatology isn’t changing their stance on any sunscreen ingredients,” says Dr Nazarian.
“As always, we tell people, look for a product that’s broad-spectrum, SPF30 – higher, if
possible – and water resistant. We aren’t saying, ‘Don’t use ingredients under review.’ We
just want the sunscreen industry to step forward and show people their products are safe.”
