By Susan Heavey WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said on Tuesday it still could not approve two sunscreen ingredients for use in the United States despite years of review, citing a lack of data to support their safety and effectiveness. In January, the FDA reached a similar conclusion on six other ingredients that had been pending approval. FDA staff have been reviewing sunscreen ingredients for more than a decade. "Americans are not going to have access to the innovative sunscreens that have been available, in some cases for decades, all over the world," said Michael Werner, a lawyer and policy adviser to the Public Access to SunScreens (PASS) Coalition.
