The U.S. sun care industry has reached a major milestone. As the exclusive distributor of PARSOL® Shield from dsm-firmenich, we are proud to offer formulators access to the first new FDA-approved sunscreen active ingredient in more than 25 years. Developed through decades of scientific expertise and regulatory leadership, PARSOL® Shield (Bemotrizinol/BEMT) brings new opportunities to create high-performance sun care, skin care and color cosmetic formulations. 

For years, U.S. formulators have had limited access to the advanced UV filters available in many global markets. Through extensive research, clinical studies and collaboration with regulatory authorities, dsm-firmenich helped change that landscape. The FDA approval of PARSOL® Shield marks a significant advancement for the industry and a new era of formulation possibilities. 

Today, brands are challenged to deliver effective broad-spectrum protection while meeting consumer expectations for lightweight textures, elegant aesthetics and superior wearability. At the same time, formulators must navigate evolving regulatory requirements and increasingly global product strategies.
