The ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) Annexes outline essential regulatory requirements for cosmetic products in ASEAN countries. Prohibited, restricted and permitted ingredients are included in the Annexes of the ACD. The List of Permitted UV Filters which Cosmetic Products May Contain is included in the Annex VII. For the purpose of the Directive, UV filters are substances which, contained in cosmetic sunscreen products, are specifically intended to filter certain UV rays in order to protect the skin from certain harmful effects of these rays. The UV filters included in the list may be added to other cosmetic products within the limits and under the conditions laid down in this Annex. Other UV filters used in cosmetic products solely for the purpose of protecting the product against UV rays are not included in the list.
