Questions this page answers
This identity appears on a market positive list for the list function represented by the source record. Confirm that the intended function and product use fall within the list scope and every stated condition.
Positive-list presence is purpose-specific and is not blanket approval for every cosmetic use. The searchable spreadsheet is an aid; the legal Group Standard and incorporated notices remain authoritative.
The record cites Schedule 6, reference 135, source row 151, source version effective-2026-01-01. 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.
