United States Congress, Department of Health and Human Services, Food and Drug Administration
Legislative history
Introduced in the House as H.R. 4250 by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R, KY-1) on March 13, 2014

The Sunscreen Innovation Act (S. 2141, Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 113–195 (text) (PDF)) is a 2014 law that amended the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act to establish an expedited process for the review and approval of over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreens.[1] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had not approved a new active ingredient in sunscreen since 1999, despite some sunscreens having been approved and used overseas for a decade.[2] The new law gave the FDA one year to respond to the existing backlog of sunscreen ingredient approval requests, and then 18 months to reply to any future applications.[3]
The bill was introduced during the 113th United States Congress by Rep. Ed Whitfield (R, KY-1) and Sen. Jack Reed (D, RI), and signed into law by President Barack Obama on November 26, 2014.[4][5]
