Sunscreen labeling requirements on INCI …. (Alphabetical is ok?)
On another forum, someone showed (and I suspect they live in another country) a USA made sunscreen, and the INCI was in alphabetical order. (Therefore, water was next to last, only behind the X-gum.)
Is this an acceptable format for sunscreen….in the USA? Other parts of the world?
Just curious.

Interesting - The Skin Cancer Australian Council sunscreen only lists the Active Ingredients (not inactive) and the preservative. I would have thought there would be a full ingredients on the bottle list but there isnt. Maybe they dont need to and dont want to show all the cheap ingredients they use (ie mainly water)? I find it a bit weird as all cosmetic type lotions and creams all have to have a fill list here.

All active ingredients must be declared on the labels of therapeutic sunscreen in Australia.

Sorry….there was one more pic….that I should have included, but I was more interested in the alphabetical listing of the inactives.

Perhaps they just treated it as a pure drug product and not as a drug/cosmetics, which the drug/cosmetics should still list the ingredients normally.
At least i didn’t see anything related to inactive ingredients for my Asean directives for sunscreen guidelines
