The best sunscreen (Mexoryl) is illegal to sell in the USA because it's not FDA approved. The FDA won't even give a reason. This has to be some kind of strange conspiracy. If not, then why the hell won't they give a reason?

<div class='quotetop'></div><div class='quotemain'>Everyone is always telling us, protect yourself from the sun, but then the government won't give us permission to have the best sunscreen?

Give me a break.</div>

(Yes. I am aware that this article is many months old.... but Mexoryl still has not been FDA approved.)

Why is Mexoryl considered the best sunscreen?

Yes, it does matter. If there's something wrong with mexoryl, then the FDA should just tell us. If there's nothing wrong with it, then it should be legal to sell. It's not right for the government to ban something for no damn good reason!

arkOrchid">Yes...Good point.

If they're going to ban something as minor as sunscreen...What else are they keeping from us? Maybe the component inside of it that makes it so good, can do more than we think...

Mexoryl fueled nuclear weapons!!!

Okay, maybe not that... XD</span>
