Sunscreen Roundtable with the PCPC

A roundtable discussion with the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) on sunscreens, featuring Chief Scientist, Alexandra Kowcz, Assistant General Counsel and Sunscreen Committee Chair, Emily Manoso, Director of the Environmental Science Programs, Iain Davies, PhD and Chief Toxicologist, Linda Loretz, PhD. Pretty much everything you want to know about sunscreens, their regulations in the USA, and the current evidence we have on safety and their environmental impact, in one information packed episode! Why are there so few filters approved in the USA compared to other industries? What do the latest FDA studies tell us? Should consumers be concerned about the safety of their sunscreen products? What is the current evidence we have regarding sun filters and their potential impacts on coral reefs? Big thank you to the PCPC for agreeing to the roundtable, I learned so much throughout the conversation. Note, in the episode we discussed the pending NAS study - since the recording, the NAS has announced the list of panel members who will participate.
