Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name MEA-LAURYL SULFATE.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

Monoethanolamine lauryl sulfate

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that ethanolamine and the 12 related ethanolamine salts, listed below, are safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment (rinse-off products only) when formulated to be non-irritating. The Panel cautioned that ingredients should not be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds may be formed...MEA-Lauryl Sulfate... — Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
