L’Oréal is suspending advertising spending on Twitter, as leading brands and marketing groups grow nervous that inappropriate content will spread on the platform under Elon Musk’s ownership.

@NicoleLeslyesty "PA" is a rating system, not a testing protocol. The test to determine UVA irradiance is generally the same everywhere, but US sunscreens generally don't use the PA ratings. Sunscreens are OTC drugs & must follow the FDA monograph (including labelling & claims).

[Kurt Reynertson @kurtreynertson]

UVA protection is required for the "broad spectrum" claim in the US.

#skintip PA testing for UVA is not required in the US for #sunscreen 🧖🏾‍♀️

Please don't make your own sunscreen. Sunscreen is an OTC drug. Carrot Seed essential oil does not have an SPF of 38 – 40

Anti-vaxxers are slamming Pres. Biden because he personally thanked a Coast Guardsman for his rescue efforts during Hurricane Ian just days before he's due to be separated from service over his failure to take the COVID vaccine.

Paw paws are the largest fruit native to North America. The only temperate member of the tropical Annonaceae family. And they are dropping by the bucket in my backyard right now.

[PASS Coalition @PASSCoalition]

The @PASSCoalition applauds @theNASEM's objective review of the impact of sunscreens on public health and the environment and its affirmation of #sunscreen as an important #skincancer prevention tool. Please read our press release for our reaction: https://t.co/UqKHZFCqf8.

[Kurt Reynertson @kurtreynertson]

@theNASEM Bottom line (6): They make no recommendations for policy changes or UV filter bans, stating "Restrictions on certain UV filters may have negative
impacts on human health if they lead to reduced sunscreen usage."

[Kurt Reynertson @kurtreynertson]

Maybe I'll live-tweet my reading of the new @theNASEM report on #sunscreen that was released today.

[Kurt Reynertson @kurtreynertson]

@theNASEM Bottom line (5): and partner with other agencies, manufacturers, etc to develop data needed for ERAs.
