India cosmetic ingredient regulations
Cosmetics Rules and gazette updates are authoritative; some standards may require separate access.

What this list is
India regulates cosmetics under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act through the Cosmetics Rules 2020, and leans on BIS standards for composition. Imports additionally need registration before they may be sold.
- 1,931 Indian records: 1,614 prohibited, 317 restricted.
- The regulator is the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation.
- Imported cosmetics require CDSCO import registration, which is separate from any ingredient question.
- BIS standards such as IS 4707 set composition requirements and are referenced by the Rules.
India's ingredient rules sit inside a wider approval structure, and the ingredient answer alone will not get a product to market. The Cosmetics Rules 2020, made under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, govern manufacture and import, and the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation administers them. An imported cosmetic needs registration with CDSCO before it may be sold, regardless of how unremarkable its formula is.
Composition is handled partly by reference. The Bureau of Indian Standards publishes standards for cosmetic products and their ingredients — IS 4707 among them — and the Rules pull those in. That means a complete Indian answer can require reading a standard that is published separately from the Rules and is not always freely available.
One further point of difference: India prohibits the import and manufacture of cosmetics tested on animals, and prohibits certain substances outright such as hexachlorophene and mercury compounds. The 1,931 records below carry the status the Indian source gives them.

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