To whom it may concern

• Health Canada's website states:

  Applying sunscreen and personal insect repellents
  Sunscreen and personal insect repellents can be worn safely at the same time. Apply the sunscreen first and then the insect repellent. Combination sunscreen and insect repellent products are no longer available in Canada.

• A.I. Chatbots reveal Why They Are Banned as follows.
  • Conflicting Application Needs: Sunscreen needs frequent reapplication (every 2 hours), while insect repellent should only be applied a limited number of times per day.
  • Risk of Overexposure: Reapplying a combo product as directed for sun protection leads to a dangerous overexposure to pesticide chemicals.
  • Reduced Efficacy: Combining the 2 formulas can make each individual product less effective.

• BEMT-based sunscreen lasts much longer because bemotrizinol is highly photostable, meaning it does not break down or lose its protective power quickly when exposed to sunlight.

• Therefore, please reconsider Health Canada's regulation, and allow combination sunscreen and insect repellent products sunscreen's ingredients are BEMT-based.

• Thank you very much for your attention.
