“—” 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.

Our note — heat, light & air

This formula lists ingredients that are known to break down faster in heat, light or air:

Don't leave sunscreen in a hot car or in direct sun on the beach — heat can separate the formula and lower protection.

Other markets

Ingredients in this formula that are prohibited or limited in other markets, from the overseas regulation database compiled by Korea's MFDS. Limited means allowed within conditions.
