The ingredient narratives reshaping clean beauty.
Bemotrizinol
On December 11, 2025, the FDA proposed adding bemotrizinol (Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine) as a permitted UV filter in U.S. OTC sunscreens — the first new monograph filter in over 20 years. Photostable, broad-spectrum UVA+UVB, low skin absorption, permitted up to 6%. Closes the chronic UVA-protection gap in U.S. clean SPF formulation.
- broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection
- photostable — does not degrade in sunlight
- low skin absorption, minimal irritation
- broad-spectrum SPF
- tinted daily sunscreens
- anti-aging SPF moisturizers
Multitasker — also enhances the efficacy of other UV filters in combination. Enables clean SPF without chalky mineral-only finish.
Synthetic origin may not satisfy strict 'all-natural' positioning — but cleaner persistence profile than older chemical filters.
Emerging credibility — regulatory frontier for clean sun care over the next 2–3 years.
