Bemotrizinol joined the permitted US filters in 2026

FDA added bemotrizinol as a permitted sunscreen active ingredient in June 2026, widening the filter set available to sunscreens sold in the United States.

A filter that Asian and European formulations already use is now usable in a US-compliant SPF, which narrows the reformulation gap.

Held since June 1, 2026A rule, law or policy that limits what you may do or say. The earliest date we are willing to say this held. It may well have been true before that; we do not backdate a record past the evidence we have read. Supported, version 1.

This entry is wrong if

FDA withdraws bemotrizinol from the permitted active ingredient list, or publishes an addition date other than June 2026.

Free to quote, cite and act on. Not to resell or redistribute — the sources ask that of us, and each one’s terms are named. Machine-readable: entries.json carries this record under the id omr:us:bemotrizinol-permitted-sunscreen-filter, with the same evidence and falsifier.

Published free, as reference, without warranty. This is not legal, regulatory, customs, tax or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the primary document, which every record here names, dates and links, precisely so that you can.

We derive from public sources and we do not independently audit them. Where a source says its own records are unverified, that carries through to us. What we do promise is that every figure is recomputed from stored rows, every claim publishes the observation that would overturn it, and every correction goes on the public log. If something here is wrong, tell us and it changes in the open.
