The FDA warns against mousse-style sunscreens, stating they may lack effectiveness and resemble whipped cream, risking accidental ingestion. The agency issued warnings to brands like Supergoop and Vacation, noting these products do not meet FDA guidelines for sunscreen. Sunscreens must be in approved forms including lotion or spray, and mousse requires additional authorization. The FDA indicated consumers could be misled by packaging, especially in light of viral trends on platforms like TikTok. Brands have 15 days to comply with the FDA's concerns.
Beware of sunscreen products in mousse form because they might not be effective. Some mousse sunscreen products resemble whipped cream containers and may put consumers at risk if ingested.
The FDA states that the brands' mousse sunscreens don't comply with its guidelines and haven't been approved to be marketed in mousse form.
Sunscreens in forms other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder need an additional authorization to be marketed as effective sunscreen.
The FDA gave the sunscreen brands 15 days to reply or pursue compliance with the concerns in the letter, which was dated back to August 6.
