MODIFIED +56 −31 Annex V LIST OF PRESERVATIVES ALLOWED IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree about what is listed, not about the text — the text comparison and the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Also missing from the earlier list, entry 51's chemical name for the substance changed from Sodium hydroxymethylamino acetate to Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate.
The condition of use for that entry changed from a prohibition applying when the maximum theoretical concentration of releasable formaldehyde is 0,1% w/w or greater, to a prohibition applying unless it can be shown that concentration is below 0,1% w/w.

MODIFIED +0 −1 Annex VI LIST OF UV FILTERS ALLOWED IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS§
applies from: unchanged
Sources disagree about what is listed, not about the text — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
Comparing the two texts, the only visible difference is the removal of a stray letter "s" that appeared on its own line after entry 10 (Octocrylene) in the earlier version, which is absent in the later version.
All other wording, entries, substance identifications, concentration limits and conditions of use in the list remain identical between the two versions.

In case of combined use of zinc oxide and zinc oxide (nano), the sum shall not exceed the limit given in column g.
In case of combined use of Titanium Dioxide and Titanium Dioxide (nano), the sum shall not exceed the limit given in column g.
In case of combined use of Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol and Methylene Bis-Benzotriazolyl Tetramethylbutylphenol (nano), the sum shall not exceed the limit given in column g.
However, cosmetic products containing that substance and complying with the restrictions set out in Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 as applicable on 27 July 2022 may be placed on the Union market until 28 January 2023 and be made available on the Union market until 28 July 2023.

1 provision named with no text to show
Each row carries the provision and the source that named it, and opens in place from the § link at its end. None was dropped and every one still counts in the disputed total above.
MODIFIED ±0 Annex II named by the EU's own amendment metadata§
applies from: unknown
Sources disagree, and there is no text on either side — the EU's own amendment metadata found this change; the text comparison finds no difference in the provision's text and the amending act's instructions do not mention it. All are shown; none is overruled.
No explanation shipped — the structural diff did not see this change, so it carries no text; another signal named the unit and the disagreement ships marked disputed.
text before / after
No text on either side: this unit was named by a signal that carries no text, and only the structural diff carries any.
