CI 77492

This record confirms an official common ingredient name for EU cosmetic product labelling. It does not by itself confirm that the substance is permitted, unrestricted or safe.

Global evidence snapshot

The resolved identity has matching regulatory evidence in 3 of 13 indexed market datasets: 2 country records and 1 EU Annex records. Every result and evidence gap is listed below.

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

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.
