Verdict
Pyroligneous acid can contain formaldehyde, methanol, phenol, cresols, and PAHs; extensive purification essential. Potential Annex II conflict if formaldehyde exceeds 0.1% (EU) or PAH levels are detectable. Highly acidic (pH 2.5–3.5); not COSMOS/ECOCERT-eligible without full characterization and processing validation.
US Note
Not specifically restricted, but lack of INCI and CIR review creates regulatory ambiguity
