On 4/23/2014 lyn in MI said: suzyQ3 - the info I've been able to find shows new labeling rules for sunscreens only, because they are "regulated as an over-the-counter drug" in the USA. I haven't found any info that states OTC skincare and cosmetics (non SPF products) may now/soon have their ingredients listed in alphabetical order.

Okay, good. I think you're probably right.

Going, then, back to Post #28, was this Perricone product that started this subthread a sunscreen product? If not, then if it listed the inactive ingredients in alphabetical order, it would be out of compliance; right?

Yes, the product in question is Photo Plasma which is the Perricone MD sunscreen.

Cool. Then we can put this to bed now. After all, I think you and I were the only ones awake here anyway. {#emotions_dlg.lol}

Seriously, though, good to know that it's only applicable for sunscreens and not all OTC type products. I had a pretty good hunch that the listing by predominance is a very important part of the legislation regarding cosmetics.
