EU vs. EC in Tables of Approved and Allowable Ingredients[edit]

The tables use "EC" without defining the term, and in some cells use "EU". There are a variety of sets of countries in Europe that are formed from the various treaties. For example Russia is part of treaties setting up a coordinated legal system in Europe, though it is not part of the European Union and is not a Eurozone country. I think term used needs to be consistent both internal to the wiki page, but also consistent with the international terms used to define the various sets of countries in Europe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.248.129.125 (talk) 14:57, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Good catch. For now, the tables are edited to say "EU" consistently, matching the text of the article and the cited Regulation No. 1223/2009. If anyone is confident that we should say "EC" in some places, please go ahead and make whichever corrections are needed, and/or post further comments here. —Patrug (talk) 10:59, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Request for more information in the approved sunscreens table[edit]

It would be great if we had some more properties of each of the sunscreens in the table of FDA approved compounds. I'd particularly like to see which parts of the UV spectrum each compound blocks. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.72.141.179 (talk) 00:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
