significant outcome

Hi all,

It has been a long time coming, but another (albeit significant) piece of the puzzle is now in place.

The FDA has finally moved on sunscreen labeling.

On the 14th June the FDA served notice that sunscreen manufacturers are required to include additional details regarding the attributes/composition of their sunscreen. No more false claims, or hiding of facts. If the sunscreen doesn't protect against UVA and UVB consumers will now know about it.

We shouldn't underestimate the significance of this announcement. I'm actually surprised there wasn't an announcement from the company. This piece of news will aid Dow Chemical's push of Zinclear - no doubt about it.

I'm looking forward to the next announcement - hopefully a confirmation that a major US sunscreen manufacturer is about to release a Zinclear variant.
