    Some work has gone into identifying the impacts of FDA changes to sunscreen active ingredients**:

    https://edition.cnn.com/2019/05/15/health/sunscreen-fda-safety-standards-study/index.html

    The key message:
    Of the 1300 sunscreens*** evaluated, 60% would not meet new standards.

    It's no wonder Nanophase believe the Zinc Oxide market will grow at 300% over the next 5 years. Imagine over half of the brands need to reformulate, or that demand is taken up by current offering... Either way, this is massive.


    Notes:
    **It's by an Environmental Working Group, so there may be some bias in results
    *** There are over 12,000 sunscreens in the US, so this sample set is a little larger than 10%.
