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 it contributes to the recommended use(s) or purpose(s) – such as in sunscreens, octinoxate should be represented as a medicinal ingredient and therefore the product is not an NHP, but a (non-prescription) drug.
Reference:
Non-NHP
Rationale:
A non-NHP substance because it is not set out in Schedule 1 to the Natural Health Products Regulations.
