Are asian sunscreens safe to use?

It depends: The most important factor when determining safety and effectiveness of a product is the ingredient list. Shiseido is a company in japan that makes very safe and effective sunscreens.

Sunscreen: There can't be a gross generalisation about whether a sunscreen from Asia is good or bad. Stick with a reputable brand.
