FDA warns one of summer's biggest viral beauty hits may not be safe
If your summer skincare looks more like dessert than SPF, the FDA has a message: put down the whipped cream canister — especially if it's actually sunscreen. On Monday, the agency dropped an unusually beachy buzzkill, warning that mousse-style sunscreens — the viral, fluffy-textured formulas all over TikTok — might not protect you as promised. Even worse? Their ice-cream-topping aesthetic could tempt someone to take a taste. And yes, that's as bad of an idea as it sounds. 'Beware of sunscreen products in mousse form because they might not be effective,' the agency wrote on X. 'Some mousse sunscreen products resemble whipped cream containers and may put consumers at risk if ingested.' The FDA's social media statement was accompanied by a flurry of official warnings issued to companies making mousse-style sunscreens, which have taken off thanks to TikTok trends and influencer campaigns. On TikTok, some videos joke about mousse sunscreen's resemblance to whipped cream by pretending to ingest it. Subscribe to the Daily newsletter. Fast Company's trending stories delivered to you every day Privacy Policy | Fast Company Newsletters The warnings were issued to five sunscreen companies: Supergoop, Vacation, TiZO, Kalani and K & Care Organics. Beware of sunscreen products in mousse form because they might not be effective. The FDA issued five warning letters to companies marketing sunscreen products in mousse form: — FDA Drug Information (@FDA_Drug_Info) August 12, 2025 In the letters, the FDA states that the brands' mousse sunscreens don't comply with its guidelines and haven't been approved to be marketed in mousse form. According to the FDA, sunscreens in forms 'other than oil, lotion, cream, gel, butter, paste, ointment, stick, spray, and powder' need an additional authorization to be marketed as effective sunscreen. 'As previously stated, there are no FDA-approved applications in effect for your drug products,' the agency states. The FDA gave the sunscreen brands 15 days to reply or pursue compliance with the concerns in the letter, which was dated back to August 6. The FDA went further with the viral mousse sunscreen brand Vacation, pointing to 'misbranding' concerns with some of the company's packaging. Vacation's Classic Whip sunscreen comes in a red and white canister that's designed to look almost exactly like a can of whipped cream – a marketing flourish that sent its mousse sunscreens viral. 'Specifically, your sunscreens are presented in metal canisters… that outputs a star-shaped foam and have a strong overall resemblance to the metal canisters ordinarily used to package whipped cream products and similar dessert toppings,' the FDA wrote, adding that selling products classified as drugs in food container lookalikes increases the risk of accidental ingestion. What's the deal with the mousse? While traditional lotion, stick and spray sunscreens have occupied drug store shelves for years, mousse-style sunscreens only exploded onto the scene recently. Accelerated by TikTok posts of influencers slathering themselves in what looks like Reddi-wip, Vacation quickly enjoyed its social media-powered moment in the sun. advertisement 'At Supergoop! we remain committed to innovation in sun care and the highest standards of product efficacy and safety,' the company told Fast Company in a statement. 'The recent communication from the FDA regarding our PLAY SPF 50 Body Mousse is focused on product labeling and has nothing to do with its safety, effectiveness, or formula. We are working closely with the FDA to resolve this matter as we continue to uphold the high standards our consumers expect from us.'

What happens when chatbots shape your reality? Concerns are growing online
As people turn to chatbots for increasingly important and intimate advice, some interactions playing out in public are causing alarm over just how much artificial intelligence can warp a user's sense of reality. One woman's saga about falling for her psychiatrist, which she documented in dozens of videos on TikTok, has generated concerns from viewers who say she relied on AI chatbots to reinforce her claims that he manipulated her into developing romantic feelings. Last month, a prominent OpenAI investor garnered a similar response from people who worried the venture capitalist was going through a potential AI-induced mental health crisis after he claimed on X to be the target of 'a nongovernmental system.' And earlier this year, a thread in a ChatGPT subreddit gained traction after a user sought guidance from the community, claiming their partner was convinced the chatbot 'gives him the answers to the universe.' Their experiences have roused growing awareness about how AI chatbots can influence people's perceptions and otherwise impact their mental health, especially as such bots have become notorious for their people-pleasing tendencies. It's something they are now on the watch for, some mental health professionals say. Dr. Søren Dinesen Østergaard, a Danish psychiatrist who heads the research unit at the department of affective disorders at Aarhus University Hospital, predicted two years ago that chatbots 'might trigger delusions in individuals prone to psychosis.' In a new paper, published this month, he wrote that interest in his research has only grown since then, with 'chatbot users, their worried family members and journalists' sharing their personal stories. Those who reached out to him 'described situations where users' interactions with chatbots seemed to spark or bolster delusional ideation,' Østergaard wrote. '... Consistently, the chatbots seemed to interact with the users in ways that aligned with, or intensified, prior unusual ideas or false beliefs — leading the users further out on these tangents, not rarely resulting in what, based on the descriptions, seemed to be outright delusions.' Kevin Caridad, CEO of the Cognitive Behavior Institute, a Pittsburgh-based mental health provider, said chatter about the phenomenon 'does seem to be increasing.' 'From a mental health provider, when you look at AI and the use of AI, it can be very validating,' he said. 'You come up with an idea, and it uses terms to be very supportive. It's programmed to align with the person, not necessarily challenge them.' The concern is already top of mind for some AI companies struggling to navigate the growing dependency some users have on their chatbots. In April, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the company had tweaked the model that powers ChatGPT because it had become too inclined to tell users what they want to hear. In his paper, Østergaard wrote that he believes the 'spike in the focus on potential chatbot-fuelled delusions is likely not random, as it coincided with the April 25th 2025 update to the GPT-4o model.' When OpenAI removed access to its GPT-4o model last week — swapping it for the newly released, less sycophantic GPT-5 — some users described the new model's conversations as too ' sterile ' and said they missed the ' deep, human-feeling conversations ' they had with GPT-4o. Within a day of the backlash, OpenAI restored paid users' access to GPT-4o. Altman followed up with a lengthy X post Sunday that addressed 'how much of an attachment some people have to specific AI models.' Representatives for OpenAI did not provide comment. Other companies have also tried to combat the issue. Anthropic conducted a study in 2023 that revealed sycophantic tendencies in versions of AI assistants, including its own chatbot Claude. Like OpenAI, Anthropic has tried to integrate anti-sycophancy guardrails in recent years, including system card instructions that explicitly warn Claude against reinforcing 'mania, psychosis, dissociation, or loss of attachment with reality.' A spokesperson for Anthropic said the company's 'priority is providing a safe, responsible experience for every user.' 'For users experiencing mental health issues, Claude is instructed to recognize these patterns and avoid reinforcing them,' the company said. 'We're aware of rare instances where the model's responses diverge from our intended design, and are actively working to better understand and address this behavior.' For Kendra Hilty, the TikTok user who says she developed feelings for a psychiatrist she began seeing four years ago, her chatbots are like confidants. In one of her livestreams, Hilty told her chatbot, whom she named 'Henry,' that 'people are worried about me relying on AI.' The chatbot then responded to her, 'It's fair to be curious about that. What I'd say is, 'Kendra doesn't rely on AI to tell her what to think. She uses it as a sounding board, a mirror, a place to process in real time.'' Still, many on TikTok — who have commented on Hilty's videos or posted their own video takes — said they believe that her chatbots were only encouraging what they viewed as Hilty misreading the situation with her psychiatrist. Hilty has suggested several times that her psychiatrist reciprocated her feelings, with her chatbots offering her words that appear to validate that assertion. (NBC News has not independently verified Hilty's account). But Hilty continues to shrug off concerns from commenters, some who have gone as far as labeling her 'delusional.' 'I do my best to keep my bots in check,' Hilty told NBC News in an email Monday, when asked about viewer reactions to her use of the AI tools. 'For instance, I understand when they are hallucinating and make sure to acknowledge it. I am also constantly asking them to play devil's advocate and show me where my blind spots are in any situation. I am a deep user of Language Learning Models because it's a tool that is changing my and everyone's humanity, and I am so grateful.'

Woman Desperate for Diagnosis for Years—Then Notices Ear Looks Different
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. For a decade, Holli Barron went in and out of doctor's offices, desperate for answers to a growing list of mysterious symptoms—throat swelling, rashes, extreme fatigue, and more. Despite receiving multiple diagnoses over the years, no treatment brought relief, leaving her feeling as if she was locked in a battle she couldn't win. That changed recently when she developed a new and unusual symptom: red, hot ear cartilage. It led to the correct diagnosis—relapsing polychondritis—a rare condition that causes repeated episodes of swelling and inflammation in cartilage and other tissues throughout the body, affecting fewer than 5,000 people in the U.S. Barron shared her experience in a TikTok video (@therapyandthings) that has been viewed over 526,000 times. She wrote: "When you send your rheumatologist a photo of 1 new weird symptom and suddenly after YEARS of no diagnosis you're getting seen by two specialists." She added that she underwent multiple tests and two CT scans in just 48 hours. "Living with a rare autoimmune disease also takes an emotional toll," the South Carolina mom told Newsweek. "Going years without a diagnosis can be difficult," Barron added, stressing the importance of caring for the mind, body, and soul, while navigating chronic illness. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Holli Barron looking puzzled and shocked. Two screenshots from the viral video showing Holli Barron looking puzzled and shocked. TikTok/@therapyandthings Sharing Her Story Online The licensed mental-health counselor later posted another video featuring photos of her ears. She warned viewers not to panic if they experience redness, as it was just one of many symptoms she had. "Prior to the ear redness and pain," Barron said, "including inflammatory arthritis, Raynaud's Phenomenon, tinnitus, episodes of minor vertigo, extreme fatigue, sensation of throat swelling, pain on the bridge of my nose. "Following CT scans, it was determined that I also have calcifications in the cartilage of my trachea," she added. The cartilage of Barron's ear is red and the lobe is the usual color. The cartilage of Barron's ear is red and the lobe is the usual color. Holli Barron Understanding Relapsing Polychondritis The Genetic and Rare Diseases (GARD) Information Center says relapsing polychondritis (RP) can also affect the airways (trachea), rib cartilage, eyes, heart, blood vessels, skin, kidneys, and nervous system. Signs and symptoms vary widely between individuals, depending on the areas involved. The exact cause is unknown, though both genetic influences and unidentified factors are believed to play a role. RP often occurs alongside autoimmune disorders. "Autoimmune disease symptoms can tend to overlap," Barron said. "So I don't want to say I was 'misdiagnosed,' but it did take many years to land at this correct diagnosis. Some previous diagnoses I was told included seronegative rheumatoid arthritis, lupus-like illness, tendinitis, and inflammatory arthritis." Living with an autoimmune disease while juggling mom life, a Ph.D., and work can be "challenging," Barron said—especially during flare-ups. "The fatigue and pain can be debilitating at times, making everyday tasks more difficult to complete," she added. How Is Relapsing Polychondritis Treated? Since only around 5 percent of rare diseases have FDA-approved treatments, finding a health-care team that can effectively manage symptoms and overall well-being is critical. People with rare diseases often face delayed diagnoses, limited treatment options, and difficulty finding providers with the necessary expertise. Building a care team that understands the patient's needs can greatly improve quality of life. For now, Barron will continue taking hydroxychloroquine, a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) that can reduce the pain of arthritis and swelling and prevent joint damage. "I will also be adding an immunosuppressant medication called Enbrel to hopefully slow the progression of the disease," Barron said. Is there a health issue that's worrying you?
