(ii)

lakes or salts of these colouring agents which do not use substances prohibited under Annex II or which are excluded under Annex V from the scope of the Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC).

In the case of colouring agents identified by the addition of (*) to the name or colour index number, the insoluble barium, strontium and zirconium lakes, salts and pigments of these colouring agents shall also be permitted. They must pass the test for insolubility which will be determined by the procedure laid down in Article 8 of the Directive.
