It's been nearly 30 years since the FDA acknowledged the need for sunscreen industry regulations, but it isn't because crafting regulations is too difficult a task for the U.S. government. It took the government less time to
- Craft and sign the Declaration of Independence
- Defeat Nazi Germany (granted, we had some help on that one)
- Figure out that prohibition was a bad plan
- Create the Medicare system
- Put a man on the moon (8 years from presidential imperative to lunar landing)
Maybe, just in case the industry still thinks they have something to hide, you should let the FDA know that you want them to finalize and implement their proposed standards. Go to the FDA's comment page to tell them you don't want to wait another 30 years for safe and effective sunscreens.
