Asian sunscreens have become all the rage — particularly among some beauty and skincare influencers and their followers — but Health Canada has not approved them, leaving consumers interested in those products to purchase them online or overseas.Nancy Le applies a sunscreen lotion to her face in Langley, B.C., where she attends nursing school.
"I first learned more about I was more into the beauty channels ... And a lot of the influencers that I was watching at the time were based in Asia. So these were a lot more accessible to them," Le said. "The last I would say probably five six years, especially with the popularity of social media platforms like TikTok, it's really given an avenue for … the average individual in society to be able to share their thoughts and perspectives on products that they can buy either locally or abroad when they're travelling," said Dr.
Most sunscreens from Asia would be considered under the non-prescription drug category because of their ingredients. The federal department said that it hasn't evaluated a submission supporting the safety and efficacy of several of the ingredients found internationally, and as a result, there aren't any products approved with these ingredients.. In other international markets, it can be used, but it's not approved for sunscreens in the U.S. and Canada.
"Of course, there's lots of different layers when it comes to sunscreen ingredient regulation and approval," Li said. Outside the U.S., sunscreens that target protection against UVA rays include ingredients Mexoryl SX , Mexoryl XL, Tinosorb M or Tinosorb S , Ohio-based dermatologist
