§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Secretary of State for Trade how many suntan cream lotions currently on the market contain 5-methoxypsoralen or oil of bergamot.
§ Mrs. Sally OppenheimThis information is not available. Suppliers of cosmetic products are not generally required to specify the contents of their goods. However, I understand that one suntan product at least contains oil of bergamot, a natural product which in turn would contain a small amount of 5-methoxy-psoralen if the oil was not treated so as to remove the chemical.
