Federal health regulators on Tuesday signed off on the first new sunscreen ingredient for the U.S. market in more than 25 years, giving Americans access to a skin-protecting chemical long used in Europe and other parts of the world.

The Food and Drug Administration says the ingredient, bemotrizinol, met the agency’s standards for protecting from dangerous ultraviolet rays while causing little irritation or absorption into the skin. The ingredient is safe for adults and children 6 months and older, the agency stated in a release.

Bemotrizinol will initially be sold in the U.S. by the Dutch manufacturer DSM Nutritional Products under the brand name Parsol Shield, which is expected to launch later in the year. After an 18-month exclusivity period, the ingredient will be available for use by other manufacturers.

Creams will not reverse ageing. You know what reverses aging? Nothing.

Methoxypropylamino Cyclohexenylidene Ethoxyethylcyanoacetate

If you want to smear that compound with a reactive cyano group on your skin, good luck.

You know what else has a cyano group? Cyanocobalamin, which you may recognize as vitamin B12.

Lots of pseudoscience and baseless fearmongering online. Please try not to propagate it.

Tretinoin reverses the appearance of aging. It's efficacy was established by decades of multi-center, double-blind, vehicle-controlled human trials, supplemented by reproducible histological/microscopic evidence. It's use is supported by the gold standard of and most heavily scrutinized dermatologic evidence in the field of topical skincare.
