With differences in regulation, testing, labeling, and even base ingredients, finding a\u00a0product that can\u00a0be marketed and developed for various countries can prove incredibly difficult.<\/p>\n<p>While some progress has been made in Europe by\u00a0adopting ISO standards, some jurisdictions have yet to unify on an approach to what is accepted. The United States began efforts to speed up the FDA process of getting new sunscreens approved with the Sunscreen Innovation Act last December. Some ingredients such as\u00a0amiloxate, enzacamene and octyl triazone, have been awaiting approval for 12 years. Other congressional action has been proposed in the form of a bill that would attempt to approve ingredients already approved in Europe within 90 days of it&#8217;s submission.<\/p>\n<h3>News\u00a0Drill Down<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Cosmetics Design Europe<\/em> gives an outline of the challenges of formulating a sunscreen as a global product and explains how some suncare products are listed as a drug, whereas others are listed as a cosmetic.<\/li>\n<li>In articles from the Regulatory Affairs Professionals Society, the challenges sunscreen has been through in the US are outlined as well as the recent FDA action on proposed ingredients.
