Resolved identifiers

A missing local match is not permission, approval or proof of safety. It means no strong identity match was resolved in that indexed dataset.

Market	Result	Dataset	Meaning / next action
European Union EU	No local match	Complete annex dataset Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 consolidated to 1 May 2026	No annex match only means that these five annexes did not return a match; CosIng identity data and other EU obligations still need review.
Great Britain GB	No local match	Complete consolidated annex dataset GB retained Regulation 1223/2009 schedules, effective 15 August 2026	No annex match is not approval and does not cover Northern Ireland, which follows the applicable EU framework.
Canada CA	No local match	Complete Hotlist snapshot Health Canada Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist, 13 August 2025	The Hotlist is an administrative compliance tool, not an exhaustive safety approval list.
New Zealand NZ	No local match	Complete schedules dataset Cosmetic Products Group Standard schedules effective 1 January 2026	The searchable spreadsheet is an aid; the legal Group Standard and incorporated notices remain authoritative.
ASEAN ASEAN	No local match	Complete regional annex dataset ASEAN Cosmetic Directive annexes 2026-1, 22 June 2026	Regional annex coverage does not replace member-state implementation dates, notifications or national deviations.
China CN	No local match	Complete prohibited catalogues plus official-source workflow NMPA 2021 banned catalogues plus dynamic IECIC List I/List II system current since 2025	IECIC listing is not blanket approval; absence may require the new cosmetic ingredient route, and restrictions are checked separately.
Japan JP	No local match	Complete Standards appendices dataset MHLW Standards for Cosmetics official English source and Japanese amendments checked for the imported snapshot	The Japanese text and subsequent notices are canonical; no local match is not a product-compliance conclusion.
South Korea KR	No local match	Complete current appendix dataset MFDS Notice 2026-19, effective 18 March 2026	Korean source wording is canonical and other positive lists/notices may still apply to the formulation.
United States US	No local match	Complete enumerated federal ingredient rules eCFR Title 21 issue date 27 August 2026	FDA has no general approved-cosmetic-ingredient catalogue; absence from these sections is not approval or proof of safety.
Australia AU	No local match	Complete cosmetic-relevant Poisons Standard subset plus official workflow Therapeutic Goods (Poisons Standard—June 2026) Instrument 2026	An AICIS Inventory match is not cosmetic approval; no Inventory match can indicate a new, exempted, reported or confidential introduction.
Brazil BR	No local match	Complete prohibited dataset plus current restricted-list workflow ANVISA RDC 1.029/2026 and RDC 1.030/2026, published 15 June 2026	RDC 1.030/2026 amends rather than replaces the prohibited baseline, and the second restricted-list revision was still under consultation in July 2026.
India IN	No local match	Complete current Part 2 dataset plus official workflow for Parts 1, 3 and 4 Cosmetics Rules 2020 plus current BIS IS 4707 parts (1:2020, 2:2025, 3:2025, 4:2022)	The standards are separate controlled publications; absence from a locally indexed excerpt is not permission.

Continue the compliance check

1. Confirm identity

Match the supplier specification, CAS/EC identifiers and composition to this official label name. Similar wording is not proof of chemical equivalence.

2. Review restrictions

Check every exact Annex record shown above, plus CMR, nanomaterial, SCCS and later-amendment requirements that may apply.

3. Verify the formula

Evaluate concentration, product type, purity, warnings, claims and each target market before making a compliance decision.
