Is this another chemical sunscreen?
I prefer zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. The stuff they sell for baby butts always works better than the chemical stuff sold as sun screen.
Finally! Ive been waiting and importing sunscreens for years
This is a big deal
If youre not wearing sunscreen daily, especially so if in the southern half of the us, you ought to be. The worlds sunscreens outside of the us are much more enjoyable and protective to wear than whats previously been approved in the us.
Theres still many great filters not yet approved, ill probably still be importing, i personally settled on the Reimann P20 sensitive skin - but ill definitely be checking out the new bemt filters as they come on US shelves to both save the environmental impact of shipping from europe and cost
What’s better about them? Just curious.
It doesn’t feel disgusting.
Improved uv protection and longevity are the major points, so youll age more gently long term and you wont have to strictly reapply every 2 hours - since im mostly in doors minus a 20m daily walk, i only apply once in the morning
But also the new sunscreens rub in and blend in better and dont feel as greasy so it not gross to put on and wear everyday
I dont wear makeup, so if the sunscreen is super shiny or pilly my face looks wierd, i dont like how i look, not so with the new filters
With my current sunscreen, its just part of the routine and its barely a thought for me - dosent smell bad, dosent feel bad, dosent make me feel sticky or tacky or greasy or shiny, i just put on 3 pumps (or finger lengths) to appropriatly protect my face, ears, and neck and its easy, and i use a cheaper american sunscreen on my arms to keep cost down
Hard to describe, but i tried a bunch of fda-approved sunscreens once i understood how damaging the sun is and how it affects aging and skin cancer and never found one that i really liked, so i imported some from abroad at the suggestion of a friend and finally found my sunscreen, and now i feel naked without it, wheras it was a chore like eating boiled brussle sprouts before
Thank you, my significant other hates sunscreen cause it’s greasy, looking forward to trying this.
Brussels sprouts are great fried or roasted. Pretty much nothing is good boiled except pasta.
eggs
Potatoes
Fully agreed, i love brussle sprouts when cooked well
Seems to be considered reef safe, too.
This is great news, thanks for posting.
The last paragraph in the article indicates that availability won’t be immediate, but still a welcome change.
Sunscreens with bemotrizinol are expected to be available by the end of the year, according to the ingredient manufacturer DSM-Firmenich.
Holy shit it’s about time this happened!
