ASEAN Cosmetic Directive annexes 2026-1, 22 June 2026

What this list is

The ASEAN Cosmetic Directive is not law anywhere by itself. Each member state enacts it separately, on its own date, sometimes with its own changes — so a regional answer is a starting point, not a compliance answer.

  • 2,224 regional records: 1,728 prohibited, 249 restricted, 247 on a positive list.
  • The directive is agreed regionally and given force by each member state's own instrument.
  • Effective dates differ between member states, so the same annex can be in force in one and not another.
  • Member states may add national requirements the regional annexes do not contain.

The ASEAN Cosmetic Directive harmonises the annexes across ten member states, and it is genuinely useful for that: one set of prohibited, restricted and positive lists covering a region that would otherwise need ten separate checks. What it is not is directly binding. The directive takes effect in a member state when that state gives it effect in national law, and those instruments are made at different times.

Two consequences follow, and both bite in practice. An annex amendment agreed regionally may be in force in Singapore and not yet in Indonesia, so the same substance can have two different answers on the same day. And a member state may impose requirements of its own — notification procedures, labelling in a national language, additional restrictions — that the regional annexes say nothing about.

Treat what follows as the regional baseline. For a product going to a specific market, the national instrument and its current effective date are the answer, and this list is where to start rather than where to stop.

How ASEAN differs from other markets

Comparing this market's imported rules against every other market's for the same substance. A market with no imported rule for a substance is left out of that comparison rather than treated as permitting it.

24 substances where ASEAN is stricter than some markets

A formula cleared elsewhere can fail here.

125 substances where ASEAN is more permissive than some markets

Permitted here under conditions and prohibited, or more tightly held, elsewhere — so a formula built for this market may not travel.
