The White House convened a group of public and private industry leaders on Sept. 16 to discuss ways to curb emissions of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). As the only invited company to represent a consumer brand, Mission Pharmacal Company participated in the White House Industry Leadership Roundtable discussion to share information on the company's newest innovation—its Dr. Smith's zinc oxide aerosol spray products.
The three Dr. Smith's spray products are the first zinc oxide aerosol products available in the health and wellness category that are formulated with a propellant which is non-flammable, has ultra-low global warming potential (GWP), is not an HFC and is not a volatile organic compound (VOC).
Solstice Propellant, which is supplied by Honeywell, has a GWP of less than 1, which is 99% lower than the GWP of HFC-134a, one of the most common propellants on the market today.
Formulated Solutions, the manufacturer of these aerosol sprays, also played an important role in the development of these products, according to Mission Pharmacal.
During the White House Roundtable, the Administration announced new private sector commitments and executive actions to reduce emissions of HFCs. Other companies at the table incouded DuPont, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Target and Kroger.
