“—” 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 Primera official store, retrieved Oct 17, 2026. Formulas change — check the label on the package you buy.
Checked against this formula's UV filters (Homosalate, Uvinul A Plus, Octisalate, Tinosorb S (bemotrizinol), Mexoryl SX (ecamsule)). These laws cover sunscreens sold — and in some places used — without a prescription.

Hawaii state and U.S. Virgin Islands laws exclude products sold as face cosmetics without a sunscreen claim; SPF products are sunscreens. Information only — check the latest rules before you travel.
“Protect the product in this container from excessive heat and direct sun.” — Required 'Other information' statement for sunscreens sold in the U.S. (FDA OTC Monograph M020)
“Keep out of direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children.” — Common precautions required on all cosmetics in Korea (Cosmetics Act Enforcement Rule, Annex 3)
No ingredients on our heat/light/air list. Even so, cosmetics last longest closed, cool and out of direct sun.
Don't leave sunscreen in a hot car or in direct sun on the beach — heat can separate the formula and lower protection.
