Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name TEA-LAURATE.

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.

Triethanolamine Laurate

The CIR Expert Panel concluded that TEA and the 31 related TEA-containing ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be nonirritating and when the levels of free diethanolamine do not exceed the present practices of use and concentration of diethanolamine itself. These ingredients should not be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds can be formed...TEA-Laurate... — Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
