“—” means no specific record for that ingredient in that jurisdiction's lists — it is not an approval. Restricted ingredients are allowed within limits (concentration, product type, label warnings); a product listing one is not necessarily over the limit. How we check.
Ingredient list from Hera official store, retrieved Oct 17, 2026. Formulas change — check the label on the package you buy.
Checked against this formula's UV filters (Octinoxate, Tinosorb S (bemotrizinol), Uvinul A Plus, Titanium Dioxide (Nano), Titanium Dioxide). These laws cover sunscreens sold — and in some places used — without a prescription.
