Spotlight on Sun Protection in Asia from In-Cosmetics: part 3
In the past few days we’ve looked at sunscreen regulations in the USA and EU; today we will examine Asia. As I mentioned in part 1, there is no continuity in regulating sunscreen around the world. As a continent, Asia follows suit, but takes it a step further with different regulations, SPF ratings and registration requirements in the different countries that make up Asia.
Spotlight on Sun Protection in the EU from In-Cosmetics: part 2
In part 1, we looked at the current regulations on sunscreens and SPF ratings in the USA presented by Anne-Gael Glaverec. Part 2 will examine the European Union (EU) which was also covered in Anne’s informative presentation. Sunscreens in the EU are considered cosmetics and currently regulated by the European Cosmetic Directive (76/768/ECC). After July 11, 2013, they will fall under the new European Cosmetic Regulation (EC 1223/2009) which I have learned a great deal about here at In-Cosmetics and will be covering in a upcoming post.
