List of Preservatives which Cosmetic Products may contain
PREAMBLE
1. Preservatives are substances which may be added to cosmetic products for the primary
purpose of inhibiting the development of micro-organisms in such products.
2. The substances marked with the symbol (*) may also be added to cosmetic products in
concentrations other than those laid down in this Schedule for other specific purposes
apparent from the presentation of the products, e.g. as deodorants in soaps or as anti-
dandruff agents in shampoos.
3. Other substances used in the formulation of cosmetic products may also have anti-
microbial properties and thus help in the preservation of the products, as, for instance,
many essential oils and some alcohols. These substances are not included in this
Schedule.
4. For the purposes of this list
- “Salts” is taken to mean: salts of the cations sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium,
ammonium and ethanolamines; salts of the anions chloride, bromide, sulphate,
acetate.
- “Esters” is taken to mean: esters of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl,
phenyl.
5. All finished products containing formaldehyde or substances in this Schedule and which
release formaldehyde must be labelled with the warning “contains formaldehyde” where
the concentration of formaldehyde in the finished product exceeds 0.05%.
Not to be used for children under
Conditions of use and warnings

card must contain that information to which the consumer is
referred either by abbreviated information or the symbol given in
the Seventh Schedule, which must appear on the container and the

6.10 In the case of soap, bath balls and other small products where
it is impracticable, for reasons of size or shape, for the particulars referred
to in paragraph 6.1 (g) to appear on a label, tag, tape or card or in an
enclosed leaflet, those particulars shall appear on a notice in immediate
proximity to the container in which the cosmetic product is exposed for

packaged at the point of sale at the purchaserís request, or are pre-
packaged for immediate sale, the seller shall make available to the
purchaser, on request, a leaflet or similar document, containing the
particulars referred to in paragraph 6.1.
6.12 No text, names, trade marks, pictures and figurative or other
signs may be used in the labelling, putting up for sale and advertising
of cosmetic products so as to imply that these products have
characteristics which they do not have. Furthermore, the manufacturer
or the person responsible for placing the product on the Community
market may take advantage, on the product packaging or in any
document, notice, label, ring or collar accompanying or referring to the
product, of the fact that no animal tests have been carried out only if the
manufacturer and his suppliers have not carried out or commissioned
any animal tests on the finished product, or its prototype, or any of the
ingredients contained in it, or used any ingredients that have been tested
on animals by others for the purpose of developing new cosmetic
products.

List of Validated Alternative Methods to Animal Testing
This Schedule lists the alternative methods validated by European Centre on Validation of
Alternative Methods (ECVAM) of the Joint Research Centre available to meet the
requirements of this Directive and which are not listed in Annex V to Council Directive
67/548/EEC of 27 June 1967 on the approximation of laws, regulations and administrative
provisions relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances. As
animal testing may not be replaced completely by an alternative method, it should be
mentioned in the Tenth Schedule whether the alternative method fully or partially replaces
animal testing.
