Which frameworks the regulatory note on each ingredient is written against, and where the responsibility sits.
The markets this catalogue is written against
- INDIA
- CDSCO, the Cosmetics Rules 2020, and BIS IS 4707 Part 1 and Part 2 for the lists of substances that may not be used and those restricted.
- EUROPEAN UNION
- Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 and its Annexes — II (prohibited), III (restricted), IV (colourants), V (preservatives) and VI (UV filters). Annex entries move; the date on an entry is not a guarantee.
- UNITED STATES
- The FD&C Act and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA), including facility registration and product listing obligations that fall on the manufacturer, not on the raw-material supplier.
- KOREA, JAPAN, CHINA
- Positive-list regimes. A material legal in the EU is not automatically permitted in a Korean, Japanese or Chinese finished product, and the permitted use level often differs.

What this is not
MakeYourSkin supplies raw materials for formulation by qualified users. The regulatory position stated against a material is a starting point for your own assessment. Responsibility for the safety assessment, the label, and compliance in every market you sell into rests with the person placing the finished product on the market.
Everything on this page is derived from the MakeYourSkin catalogue and from supplier literature. It is a starting point for your own development work, not a specification. Confirm every figure against the technical data sheet and Certificate of Analysis for the grade and batch you buy.
