Condition text is present on 1387 of 1387 current records. An empty condition field is interpreted according to the record type above; it is never converted into an unrestricted-use claim.

Brazil market context

Complete prohibited dataset plus current restricted-list workflow

Coverage version: ANVISA RDC 1.029/2026 and RDC 1.030/2026, published 15 June 2026

All 1,387 substantive current prohibited rows in RDC 529/2021 consolidated through RDC 1.030/2026, plus the current RDC 1.029 restricted-list and identity workflow.

Verification checklist

  1. Resolve Portuguese, INCI and CAS identity with the ANVISA crosswalk.
  2. Check the consolidated prohibited list including RDC 1.030/2026 changes.
  3. Apply RDC 1.029/2026 restrictions and the still-effective complementary rules.
  4. Verify Mercosur incorporation, regularisation, labelling and transition periods.

Verification workflow and record completeness

Before using this result in a compliance decision

  1. Confirm that “Trióxido de diboro; óxido bórico (DIBORON TRIOXIDE; BORIC OXIDE)” and every CAS/EC identifier refer to the material in your supplier specification.
  2. Resolve Portuguese, INCI and CAS identity with the ANVISA crosswalk.
  3. Check the consolidated prohibited list including RDC 1.030/2026 changes.
  4. Apply RDC 1.029/2026 restrictions and the still-effective complementary rules.
  5. Verify Mercosur incorporation, regularisation, labelling and transition periods.
  6. Document the source version and recheck the regulator before manufacture, notification or market placement.

Questions this page answers

This official record identifies the substance as prohibited for cosmetic use in the stated market scope. Do not rely on a formulation containing this identity until the cited source, effective date and exact substance match have been verified.

A prohibition entry may contain no separate condition text because the regulatory outcome is the prohibition itself. RDC 1.030/2026 amends rather than replaces the prohibited baseline, and the second restricted-list revision was still under consultation in July 2026.

The record cites RDC 529/2021 consolidated annex, entry 1405 (through RDC 1.030/2026), source version RDC 529/2021 consolidated through RDC 1.030/2026. Open the official source.

No. CAS helps resolve identity, but jurisdictions can classify the same substance differently and can apply different product scopes, limits, warnings and transition dates.
