The reformulations go into effect nationwide before the chemical bans in Hawaii and Key West.
It's been a little more than a year since CVS announced its intention to remove oxybenzone and octinoxate — two controversial ingredients found in some chemical sunscreens — from nearly 60 of its store-brand sunscreens. And while the pharmacy chain had initially promised to complete the task by the end of 2020, it just announced that the goal has already been reached.
For the time being, and as planned, the two ingredients will remain in CVS store-brand sunscreens with an SPF of 50 or higher in order to be "most effective for customers who require this strength of protection." However, these products will only be available outside of Hawaii and Florida.
of the chemicals did not pass in Florida; however, the city of Key West approved a local ban that will go into effect on January 1, 2021, the same day that Hawaii's ban begins."As a leading health and beauty destination, CVS Pharmacy is highly attuned to our customers' evolving needs and their desire for products that are more sustainable while still being efficacious," CVS Health's SVP of merchandising, George Coleman, said in a statement.
However, CVS Health sunscreens with SPF 50+ will not be available in Hawaii and Florida so as to comply with regulations.
