DSM-Firmenich has exclusive rights to market bemotrizinol in the U.S. for 18 months. It will be sold under the brand name Parsol Shield. The company says the first sunscreen products containing the ingredient should start hitting American store shelves around September.
4 things to know about the new sunscreen ingredient the FDA approved
1,000Neutrogena's September 17 launch announcement says its Cloud-Tech Ultra Sheer SPF70 and Clear Face SPF60 sunscreens are already available on Amazon. Its official Ultra Sheer page lists bemotrizinol 6%.
Does that meet the intended criterion, or must the ingredient be specifically DSM's PARSOL Shield? BASF announced co-exclusive US rights for Tinosorb S under a DSM license on August 10, so I cannot infer the supplier brand from BEMT alone.

I haven't taken a position while that distinction is unclear.
