Regulatory position is stated per entry against the markets MakeYourSkin ships to: India (CDSCO, Cosmetics Rules 2020, BIS IS 4707), the EU (Regulation 1223/2009 and its Annexes), the United States (FD&C Act and MoCRA), and the Korean, Japanese and Chinese positive lists. It is a starting point for your own assessment, not a compliance opinion.
How to read these entries: use levels, pH windows and addition phases are starting points from supplier literature, not specifications. Confirm every figure against the technical data sheet and Certificate of Analysis for the grade and batch you buy, and satisfy yourself of the regulatory position in each market you sell into.
