[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's much you can't get here anymore, but sunscreen is the big one (La Roche Posay UVMune), and [b]even that will be available in the US next year sometime[/b].

If you use Caudalie products, they're much cheaper in France. Same with LRP, Avene, Embryolisse, etc.

Is that true? If so, very exciting. I order my LRP from Care to Beauty, but I’d love not to have to pay the shipping and tariffs….[/quote]

NP bumping this question. Is this right? We will actually have access to better sunscreen in the US next year? [/quote]

Yes.

That’s great news. Unfortunately, it does not include Mexoryl 400, which is what LRP products use. From the article:

[quote]Researchers are keeping tabs on how BEMT’s approval will affect the approval of other UV filters in the U.S. Wyles says others in the BEMT family might see similar approvals. Another organic filter, Mexoryl 400, has also demonstrated coverage of the UVA spectrum and is increasingly found in sunscreens produced in Asia and Europe. “I can see that coming to the U.S. at some point,” Wyles says.[/quote]

Sounds like there’s hope that will get approved at some point, but for now we still have to order from Care to Beauty. [/quote]
