Detail:
For topical use only. When it is not associated with a health claim, octinoxate can be represented as a non-medicinal ingredient in a natural health product (NHP) at the minimum concentration necessary to achieve the excipient effect. If the ingredient contributes to the recommended use(s) or purpose(s) of the NHP – such as in sunscreens, it should be represented as medicinal and therefore, the product is a drug, not an NHP.

A non-NHP because not a naturally occurring substance included in Schedule 1 of the Natural Health Products Regulations.
