Highlights the need for advanced sunscreen innovations and collaborative efforts to combat skin cancer.
By: Tom Branna
June 27, 2024
More than 9,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day in the US, and over two people die from the disease every hour. Annually, skin cancer diagnoses outnumber all other cancers combined, with treatment costs estimated at $8.1 billion. Against this alarming backdrop, DSM-Firmenich Beauty & Care held its 3rd Annual Safer Under the Sun Day in Washington DC, highlighting the critical need for advanced sunscreen innovations and collaborative efforts to combat skin cancer.
The event brought together leading medical professionals, public health advocates, personal care experts and sunscreen specialists to address barriers hindering sunscreen innovation and discuss the necessity of industry-government partnerships. These collaborations are vital for advancing new over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drugs and ensuring their availability to Americans, according to DSM-Firmenich.
During the event, the Skin Cancer Awareness Leadership Award was presented to the Congressional Skin Cancer Caucus Committee members for their unwavering support in the fight against skin cancer. Representatives Deborah Ross (D-NC) and Debbie Dingell (D-MI) accepted the award on behalf of the committee. In her acceptance speech, Rep. Dingell emphasized the significant impact of simple preventative measures like applying sunscreen.
Following the awards ceremony, presentations from the Skin Cancer Foundation, Personal Care Products Council, Credo Beauty, DSM-Firmenich and several dermatologists underscored a critical issue: despite scientific advancements and legislative efforts like the Sunscreen Innovation Act of 2014, the US lags behind other countries in adopting new sunscreen filters. This delay limits the availability of diverse and effective broad-spectrum sun protection products, hindering innovation and consumer needs.
Key challenges identified include:
Panelists proposed several congressional actions to improve the situation:
According to DSM-Firmenich, the 3rd Annual Safer Under The Sun Day highlighted the urgent need for regulatory reforms and innovations to improve sun protection and reduce skin cancer rates in the US. The industry aims to overcome current barriers through collaborative efforts and bring advanced sun care solutions to all Americans.
