Trendy Mousse Sunscreens May Not Actually Work, FDA Warns.

The article discusses a warning issued by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding whipped sunscreens, specifically those made by Supergoop! and other manufacturers, which do not comply with federal regulations. The FDA stated that mousse or foam formulations are not permitted for sunscreen products, raising concerns about their effectiveness and potential risks if ingested, as some resemble whipped cream containers. Supergoop! clarified that the FDA's warning pertains to product labeling rather than safety or effectiveness, and they are collaborating with the FDA to address the issue. Other companies, including Vacation Inc. and Kalani Sunwear, also received warning letters, with Kalani Sunwear promptly removing its mousse product from its US website. The popularity of these products has been fueled by social media and celebrity endorsements. [Extracted from the article]
