Regulations 4(2) and 5(1)

SCHEDULE 1LIST OF SUBSTANCES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN

The alphabetical list set out in column 2 of this Schedule contains one or more of the names of each of the substances referred to in regulation 4(2); in certain cases a name is given of a group of substances, the names of particular examples of which are also given, and in such a case all substances comprised in the group are included, whether or not more specifically named.

The numbers given in columns 1, 3 and 4 are for information only. Those in column 3 are cross-references to other names listed for the same substances (except that where a name is that of a group of substances, the cross-references are to particular examples of that group, and any cross-reference in parenthesis is to the name of a group of substances within which the particular substance falls). Those in column 4 are cross-references to Annex II of the Directive, from which this Schedule is derived.

SCHEDULE 4LIST OF PRESERVATIVES WHICH COSMETIC PRODUCTS MUST NOT CONTAIN EXCEPT SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS

In this Schedule, the matters specified in columns 3, 4, 5 and 6 which apply to a particular substance are those set out to the right of its name as mentioned in column 2; and the matters specified in columns 4, 5 and 6 which apply in any particular case are those set out to the right of the matter specified in column 3 which applies in that case. The substance may not be used or contained other than in the types of product specified in column 3. The concentration of the substance, when it is used as a preservative, in a product may not exceed the limit set out in column 4. Where a product is intended to be mixed with another product in specified proportions before use, the level of concentration shall be calculated by reference to the mixture. Other requirements are specified in column 5.

In column 4 of this Schedule, “A” indicates that the concentration of the substance in a product may exceed the limit set out in that column provided that—

(a)the presence of any excess of the substance in a product over the concentration so set out is not for the primary purpose of inhibiting the development of micro-organisms; and

(b)the purpose for which any such excess is present in the product is apparent from the labelling of the product.

In this Schedule—

“salts” means salts of the cations sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium and ethanolamines and of the anions chloride, bromide, sulphate and acetate;

“esters” means esters of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and phenyl.

In column 4 of this Schedule, the percentage concentration is measured by reference to mass (m/m) unless a contrary intention appears.

All preservative substances containing formaldehyde or any substances named in this Schedule which release formaldehyde must be labelled with the warning “contains formaldehyde” when the concentration of formaldehyde in the final product exceeds 0.05 per cent.

Names which appear in square brackets in column 2 of this Schedule are the International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient names of the substances in question given in the inventory of ingredients employed in cosmetic products drawn up in accordance with the provisions of the Directive and contained in Commission Decision 96/335/EC(11).
