President Obama has signed into law S. 2141, the Sunscreen Innovation Act, which modifies the process for the review and approval of over-the-counter sunscreen ingredients by the Food and Drug Administration.
In advance of the President’s signing, the following statement was issued by Kristina Schake, chief communications officer at L’Oréal USA, which was a founding member of the PASS Coalition, which is focused on getting the legislation passed.
“L’Oréal USA commends the House of Representatives for its unanimous passage of the Senate version of the Sunscreen Innovation Act (S.2141), which will provide American consumers greater access and choice when it comes to the latest and effective sunscreen products available. L’Oréal has been a pioneer in sunscreen innovation since the company’s founder invented the first sunscreen in 1936, and the company continues to invest deeply in the science of sun protection. The creation of a predictable, transparent and timely review process for sunscreen ingredients will not only help tackle a growing public health concern, but also continue to incentivize American sunscreen innovation,” said Schake.
