How Eye products conditions affect compliance
There are 2 EU annex records on this page that mention the Eye products product type category. Product type wording is where the regulation tells you whether a substance may, may not, or may only conditionally be used in that cosmetic category.
Reviewing records by product type is useful when your finished product clearly falls into the Eye products category and you need to check whether maximum concentrations, warnings or annex placement change for that use case.
Frequently asked questions
For substances listed in Annex III of EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, the product type field specifies which cosmetic categories the substance is permitted or restricted in. A substance with a restriction tied to Eye products products may be permitted at a different concentration, or prohibited altogether, in other product categories. Each entry should be read individually.
Yes. Product type conditions set out in Annex III are legally binding under EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009. A cosmetic product that does not comply with the product type conditions for a restricted ingredient is not compliant, regardless of whether other conditions (such as concentration limits) are met.
Use the INCI Checker tool to scan your ingredient list against all Annex II–VI entries. For each flagged ingredient, open its individual record to review the product type conditions, maximum concentration and any applicable warnings to confirm they are compatible with your intended product category.
A prohibited substance (Annex II) may not be present in any cosmetic product at any concentration. A restricted substance (Annex III) may be used but only under specific conditions — such as product type limitations, maximum concentrations and mandatory warnings. Both types of records appear in the list above if they carry a product type field.
