FDA COSMETIC SURVEY: NEARLY 48% OF CONSUMERS POLLED USED SUNSCREENS OR SUNBLOCKS in the past year, compared to 25% who said they used suntan creams, liquids or gels, FDA Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition Science Policy Analyst Elisa Eliot told the Cosmetic Toiletry and Fragrance Association's annual scientific conference Oct. 23-25. Eliot observed that "American consumers appear to be getting the message with respect to our version of sun-worship -- namely there is no safe tan." She expressed surprise that only 5.2% of those surveyed used self- tanning products.
