"Eight sunscreen ingredients that have been under review for years&amp;amp;#8212;some for a full decade&amp;amp;#8212;could finally be approved by the FDA within a year, thanks to the fact that yesterday the House approved the Sunscreen Innovation Act that will expedite the notoriously long process. As it stands, the slow process has created a backlog of ingredients waiting for approval, which has translated into a 15-year gap between now and the last new sunscreen ingredient allowed in the U.S. And many of these ingredients have been used in other countries for years and are even considered superior to the ones we have available currently. This is a big deal for the skin care industry. HUGE. Unfortunately, it&amp;#x27;s not quite time to break out the bubbly yet&amp;amp;#8212;the bill still has to pass the Senate. But we&amp;#x27;re a step closer to better sunscreen anyway. If it makes it all the way through, the FDA is will have one year to respond to the current pending ingredients, and going forward, all new applications will have to be responded to within 18 months. You can read more about the bill and how it could change our sunscreen formulas here. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
