FDA Adds New Sunscreen Active Ingredient After Nearly 20 Years! Global Sunscreen Production Standards Enter a New Era
In June 2026, the FDA approved Bemotrizinol as a new OTC sunscreen active ingredient—the first in nearly 20 years. This milestone is driving a global upgrade in sunscreen manufacturing and registration standards.
Under the new rules, U.S.-bound sunscreens must update safety assessments. Factories must enhance ingredient testing, strictly follow FDA GMPC guidelines, and maintain full records of formulations, stability, and microbial tests.
To support this transition, SGS and Bureau Veritas have introduced specialized compliance audits for beauty manufacturers, focusing on cleanroom ingredient segregation, preservative controls, and UV efficacy verification. FDA GMP-certified companies like Guangzhou Kaiyuan Biology have already upgraded their inspection processes to help partner brands quickly complete U.S. registrations and capture the growing overseas market.
