  • Toxicity Summary: The inorganic borates display low acute toxicity. They are either not irritant or mild skin and eye irritants. They are not skin sensitisers, nor are they mutagenic or carcinogenic. The most sensitive endpoints of toxicity are considered to be effects on the reproductive organs, fertility in males, and developmental effects. The doses that cause these effects are far higher than any levels to which the human population could be exposed... /Inorganic borates/ Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)

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. The standards are separate controlled publications; absence from a locally indexed excerpt is not permission.

The record cites IS 4707 (Part 2):2025 Annex A, entry 1402, source version IS 4707 (Part 2):2025, fifth revision. 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.
