Amended by Regulation (EU) 2026/909 32026R0909 on EUR-Lex (external, EUR-Lex)

Applies from: not readable (the text changed beyond its dates, so no date that moved can be read as the application date) why

dates added to the text: 2027-01-01, 2028-07-01, 2028-08-01

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

The AFTER text adds two new footnote-style sentences setting out placement and availability deadlines of 1 January 2027 and, respectively, 1 July 2028 and 1 August 2028 for cosmetic products containing certain substances that do not comply with restrictions.

The AFTER text also rewrites entry 24 on water-soluble zinc salts, replacing the prior single-line listing of zinc acetate, chloride, gluconate and glutamate with a more detailed table that adds zinc citrate and zinc sulphate, lists separate CAS/EC numbers for each salt, and splits the permitted uses and maximum zinc concentrations into four separate product-type rows (toothpaste for users above 1 year, toothpaste for children between 6 months and 1 year, mouthwash for users above 6 years, and other products).

Because the provided texts are truncated before the end of the annex, no further differences beyond the marked cut point can be described.

dates added to the text: 2027-05-01

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

The footnote about a substance not complying with restrictions from 1 February 2025 and 1 November 2025 now adds the phrase 'and not complying with the restrictions' to the second sentence, where before that sentence lacked that qualifying phrase.

Two additional footnotes have been added after that entry, each describing a substance's non-compliance with 'conditions' rather than 'restrictions,' with dates of 1 February 2025, 1 November 2025, and 1 May 2027 for placing and making available on the Union market.

Because the provided text is truncated, only these visible changes to the footnote list can be described, and nothing beyond the cut can be reported.

The AFTER text also adds new cross-reference notes pointing to Annex II entries for Verbena essential oils and Oil from the seeds of Laurus nobilis L., and a note tying a substance's peroxide value to the restriction in entry 130, none of which appear in the BEFORE text.

The remainder of the visible text, including the numbered substance table, is identical between the two versions shown.

In the entry concerning water-soluble zinc salts, the cross-reference to zinc pyrithione was changed from citing entry 101 and Annex V, entry 8, to citing Annex II, entry X, and a line break was inserted after the phrase naming zinc acetate.

Another footnote is shortened by removing the clause about remaining in prolonged contact with the skin, so it now reads only that it is solely for products which might be used for children under 3 years of age.

The footnote referencing Directive 2005/36/EC is expanded from a bare journal citation into a full description naming the Directive and its subject before giving the same Official Journal reference.

Two new footnotes are added covering 1-(4-Chlorophenoxy)-1-(imidazol-1-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2-one, one stating a placing-on-the-market cutoff of 27 November 2019 and the other a making-available cutoff of 27 February 2020, along with a new footnote pointing to Annex V, entry 32 for preservative use.

Entry 12 on hydrogen peroxide and related compounds now carries an added exception excluding substances numbered 1397, 1398 and 1399 in Annex II, and its wording on dental-practitioner supervision is reformatted, whereas the earlier version contained neither the exclusion nor that reformatting.

Entry 2a for thioglycolic acid and its salts was rewritten to split the product category into four sub-items (a) hair waving or straightening products with general and professional use concentrations, (b) depilatories, (c) other hair rinse-off products, and (d) products intended for eyelash waving, whereas the earlier version organised the same substance under three sub-items (a) hair products, (b) depilatories, and (c) hair rinse-off products without a separate eyelash-waving category.

The conditions-of-use and warnings text accompanying entry 2a was also reworded, adding a reference to sub-item (d) and changing the wording around avoiding eye contact, rinsing eyes, and the labelling instructions distinguishing general use from professional use.

The remainder of the visible Annex III text, including entries 2b through 67 and the introductory notes, is unchanged between the two versions, and both texts are truncated before the entry could be compared further.

Found in the text, but not every source lists it — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. The source that does not name it is the EU's own amendment metadata. Both are shown; neither is overruled.

No explanation shipped — the difference between the two versions lies beyond the characters this stage can show, so no explanation was requested.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

Entry 8b now adds detailed labelling text for eyelash-colouring products, including warnings about severe allergic reactions, an age-16 restriction, henna-tattoo risk, conditions under which eyelashes should not be coloured, and an instruction to rinse eyes if contact occurs, none of which appeared before.

Entry 9a's chemical name/INN and substance identification are changed from Toluene-2,5-diamine and its salts to 1,4-Benzenediamine, 2-methyl-/2,5-Diaminotoluene sulphate, and the maximum concentration for professional use is changed from 4 % calculated as free base to 2 % calculated as free base or 3,6 % calculated as sulfate salt.

Entry 12's column i wording is reorganised and expanded, notably by adding a specific labelling requirement for eyelash products (f) covering professional-use-only status, eye-contact avoidance, rinsing instructions and a hydrogen peroxide content statement; entry 22 similarly gains new eyelash-colouring warning text for point (b) that mirrors the added language in entry 8b.

Applies from: no date changed

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

A new entry 8b has been added for p-Phenylenediamine and its salts, restricting their use in products intended for colouring eyelashes with a maximum concentration of 2% calculated as free base after mixing and limiting such use to professional application.

Entry 12 now includes an additional row (f) for products intended for eyelashes, capping hydrogen peroxide present or released at 2% and restricting that use to professional application.

Entry 22 on Resorcinol has been reworded so the mixing concentration limit of 1.25% applies to both hair and eyelashes, and a new row (b) restricts products intended for colouring eyelashes to professional use, with the former row (b) on hair lotions and shampoos renumbered as row (c).

Entry 16 changes its chemical name from 1-Naphthol to 1-Naphthalenol and raises the maximum concentration applied to hair after mixing under oxidative conditions from 1 % to 2,0 %, and also drops language previously excluding eyelash and eyebrow dyeing use.

Entry 22 for Resorcinol renames the chemical name to 1,3-benzenediol, lowers the maximum concentration applied to hair after mixing under oxidative conditions from 2,5 % to 1,25 %, and rewrites the associated labelling text, including moving the instruction not to use to dye eyelashes or eyebrows into the general-use wording.

The text as provided is truncated, so further differences beyond entry 73 in this Annex cannot be described.

Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text

Annex III adds new introductory footnotes, including references to an Official Journal citation, a note that a limit applies to the substance rather than the finished product, a note on combined-substance limits, a statement that free base and salts of a hair colouring ingredient are permitted unless prohibited under Annex II, and a new preservative cross-reference to Annex V No 58.

Numerous individual entries are rewritten in substance, for example entry 8 on phenylenediamine derivatives and entry 9 on methylphenylenediamines are restructured with new split entries such as 8a and 9a, new labelling text about mixing ratios and allergy warnings, and revised maximum concentration wording, while entry 10 is emptied of its prior content and entries such as 12, 14, 26 through 43, 45, and others have their conditions of use, wording, and identifiers altered.

The supplied AFTER text is truncated partway through entry 73, so further differences beyond that point cannot be described.
