Unless I missed it, the article doesn't mention whether this sunscreen mitigates the impact on coral in the ocean. The sunscreens we've been using are terrible for that.

    From the end of the article:

    The European Union’s environmental agency has found “limited evidence of environmental toxicity” with BEMT, but longer-term research is needed.

    Now that I look again I see that. I think I hadn't hit the "Read More" so didn't see the end of the article. I even searched for "coral" initially and it didn't find anything. The first subheading after it expands does mention coral.

    That's speaks more to how the USA approves sunscreen than technological breakthroughs in the technology.

    Headline: “First new sunscreen type in 25 years!”

    Story: “Yeah, it’s not really new. The rest of the world has been using it for ages.”

    Now give us the sunscreens they use in Japan and Korea. Works and doesn't feel disgusting.

    I was not aware of the problems that some widely used UV protection substances can bring about. Thank you for making me aware of it by your post!

    I found some detailed but customer oriented information in an article by the German consumer test magazine Ökotest: https://www.oekotest.de/kosmetik-wellness/Sonnencreme-Diese-vier-UV-Filter-sollten-Sie-meiden_11405_1.html
