One-page reference card for global cosmetic ingredient regulations in salons.
The global cosmetic ingredient regulatory landscape is a patchwork of overlapping but non-identical systems[1]. The EU bans 1,730 substances (Annex II) and restricts 370 more (Annex III); the US FDA historically permitted most ingredients unless proven harmful, though MoCRA 2022 begins to change this; Japan maintains its own positive/negative lists under the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act[2].
