It looks like someone microwaved a terrier.

Is this the "illegal", unapproved stuff I saw CNN reporting on the other day? Begins with an "M"?

Why is it not approved? Too weak?

Mexoryl. Yes. I'm not sure it's illegal. Probably. I have not yet ordered the face kind I want.
I posted a link to a NYT article a few weeks ago, but it's probably a pay article now. And you have to register. |

It just hasn't cleared the FDA process. Apparently it's the most effective thing against the ultraviolet rays which are most likely to cause skin cancer. (UVB, I think). It's been in use for years in Europe and other places around the world. People are apparently getting it from dermatologists/eBay and other "black market" channels.
And Fringey, I think they are sending the black helicopters for you.

I knew I probably got that backwards. Thanks.
(And shouldn't it be "one week after Canada Day Day?")

What I just read says its the most effective against the rays (UVA) that age your skin. But I can't find anything explaining whhy such a harmless product would not be allowed into the country. What's the down side? Its been tested abroad for 14 years. Something's amiss here, and this isn't interesting enough for me to find out what that is.

The FDA is too busy working on stuff that the drug companies are lobbying for. And defending against approving things that shouldn't be approved. Or is underfunded. Whatever.
Uh, I mean, it's a conspiracy against Shiseido and L'Oreal, because Japan and France aren't being supportive enough about Iraq. |

I have no idea what the downside is. As for the delay in approval, I blame the fact that drug companies still provide pensions and administer 401k plans, and could otherwise divert the money wasted on these costs toward priming FDA officials with bribes.

It's so simple. Follow the logic: America is the fattest country on Earth. Fat looks better tan. UVA rays make you tan. Ergo, UVA blocking sunscreen makes America ugly.
Keep America Beautiful! |
