Public regulatory text on file for 5 jurisdiction(s), covering 19 countries / territories once regional blocs are expanded. Other markets have no public data here — absence is neither approval nor prohibition. Table updated 2026-09-22.
Compiled from publicly published regulatory texts; conditions are reproduced as published, neither rewritten nor translated. The latest official announcement of the target market prevails — this table is a compiled reference, not a compliance conclusion. Matched on the INCI name; salts, esters and synonyms may be missed. Usability and labelling are for the brand and its responsible person to verify against the full text.
Functions from EU CosIng and the China inventory; irritancy, comedogenicity and rating are our internal reading, not a regulatory conclusion. Structure and molecular data from PubChem.
