(S)UNDERCOVER SPF 50
US over-the-counter (OTC) label
Aux États-Unis, ces produits sont vendus comme médicaments en vente libre (OTC) : solaires, antitranspirants, antipelliculaires, dentifrices anticaries, produits contre l'acné ou protecteurs cutanés. L'étiquette distingue les ingrédients actifs et inactifs. Dans l'Union européenne, un produit à finalité cosmétique doit respecter le règlement (CE) n° 1223/2009. Un filtre ou un actif admis aux États-Unis peut ne pas être autorisé pour cet usage dans l'Union. La qualification dépend de la finalité : un désinfectant pour les mains peut relever des biocides et un traitement de l'acné des médicaments. Cette analyse applique les règles cosmétiques aux ingrédients, sans établir la conformité du produit fini. La formule vendue en Europe sous le même nom peut être différente.
