On February 21 2019, the Food and Drug Administration announced a new proposal on sunscreen safety that will likely overhaul the entire sunscreen industry. No, we're not exaggerating. Despite repeated calls for action from watchdog organizations, most prominently the Environmental Working Group, the FDA hasn't updated its stance on sunscreen safety in more than 40 years. Even more shocking are the details of the proposal: Of the 16 different active ingredients in sunscreens currently on the market, the FDA deemed only two as being safe to use: zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

The Sunscreen Innovation Act (passed back in 2014) requires the FDA to come to a final ruling on the proposed regulations before November 26, 2019. Although we'll have to wait until near year's end for the verdict, it's likely that the February 21 proposal will prompt manufacturers to reassess and possibly reformulate their sunscreens right away.

"[This] announcement will cause a sea change in how sunscreens are formulated and it's long overdue, but it is incredibly welcome news," said David Andrews, a senior scientist at the EWG, on a press call.

In the meantime, consider swapping out chemical sunscreen for a mineral-based option containing the "safe" active ingredients of zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
