[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless you know how to whip a batch of a sunscreen at home make sure you understand that there is NO regulations regarding cosmetics.
So pretty much anyone can make anything and sell it to you. They also can put things like "organic" "natural" "safe" on it without ANY
regards for any fidelity to it or consequences.

This is a fact:

[quote]The law does not require cosmetic products and ingredients, except for[b] color additives[/b], to be approved by FDA before they go on the market.[/quote]

And this is a fact:

[quote]FDA's legal authority over cosmetics is different from our authority over other products we regulate, such as drugs, biologics, and medical devices. Under the law, cosmetic products and ingredients do not need FDA premarket approval, with the exception of color additives.[/quote]

IN case of sunscreen:
The fact is that there are some changes that are going to take place to make them safer but noting that is on the market now has been affected by the changes yet, one could assume, since the changes are only couple months old.

[b]Two [/b]of the 16 currently used main chemical ingredients in over-the-counter sunscreen products [b]are considered safe,[/b] the FDA says, as part of a proposal here aimed at improving the safety and quality of sunscreen products sold without prescription in the United States.

Does the above statement makes you wonder? TWO of 16 are safe. Hm..

Pretty sure that European sunscreen is much more regulated than American sunscreen. Again, sunscreen is not the dangerous bomb that you want to make it it to be. Not everyone uses cheap American drugstore sunscreen. [/quote]
