On June 9, 2026, the FDA officially added Bemotrizinol (BEMT), also known as Tinosorb® S, to the U.S. OTC sunscreen monograph, the first new sunscreen active ingredient approved in more than two decades. This is a genuine game-changer for the aesthetic industry, and smart practices are already paying attention.
Why Bemotrizinol Matters for Your Clients and Your Business
Bemotrizinol delivers:
Exceptional broad-spectrum UVA + UVB protection
Superior photostability (it doesn’t break down quickly in the sun like many older chemical filters)
The ability to help stabilize other UV filters for even stronger overall performance
Decades of proven safety and efficacy internationally before finally reaching the U.S. market
For estheticians, this translates into real clinical and retail advantages. Clients get longer-lasting, more reliable photoprotection, especially important after procedures that leave skin more vulnerable (peels, lasers, microneedling, etc.). Better protection means better healing, fewer post-treatment complications, and happier clients who see lasting results.
DermExcel Is Already Ahead of the Curve
While many brands are still racing to reformulate, DermExcel Sunscreen (including the popular Dermatint lightweight foundation sunscreens) is among the few professional lines already featuring this next-generation filter. That means you can offer your clients cutting-edge photoprotection right now….not six or twelve months from now when everyone else catches up.
