The current sunscreen regulations in the United States have not been updated in decades, restricting access to newer and potentially safer sunscreen ingredients. Updating these regulations would provide consumers with more effective sunscreen options for protecting themselves against harmful UV radiation and skin cancer. It is crucial for public health that we take action to review and approve new sunscreen filters that have already been deemed safe and effective in other countries. Modernizing sunscreen rules will promote innovation, increase consumer choice, and improve sun protection for all Americans. I urge you to support measures that would reform outdated sunscreen regulations and expedite the approval process for new sunscreen ingredients.
