🦉 & 🐥 & 🐮 — Salon operator dialogue
🐥
Piyo: Poppo, what's the difference between EU Annex II and Annex III?
🦉
Poppo: Annex II is the prohibited list — over 1,600 substances that must never appear in a cosmetic product sold in the EU. Annex III is the restricted list — substances allowed only up to specified concentrations (like PPD at max 2% in hair dyes). If a product violates either, it's illegal to use, full stop.
🐥
Piyo: What about products from the US or Asia?
🦉
Poppo: FDA regulates differently — until MoCRA (2022), there was no mandatory registration. Japan's Pharmaceutical Affairs Act has its own positive list. A salon using international products must verify compliance with their own jurisdiction's regulations.
🐮
Mou: Strong, kind, beautiful — knowing the rules behind your products is what separates a professional from an amateur.
