How PH ajuster for depilatories conditions affect compliance

There are 2 EU annex records on this page that mention the PH ajuster for depilatories 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 PH ajuster for depilatories 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 PH ajuster for depilatories 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.

An Annex II substance is prohibited as an intentionally added cosmetic ingredient, subject to the narrow Article 17 exception for technically unavoidable unintended small quantities and the Article 3 safety requirement.
