  • Product type restrictions — some ingredients are only allowed in rinse-off or leave-on products
  • pH restrictions — the finished product must stay within a specific pH range
  • Mandatory labelling — certain allergens must be listed on the packaging
  • Usage conditions — must not be combined with certain other ingredients

These limits are based on the EU CosIng database (Annex III) and are updated regularly. Products sold in the EU must comply with all applicable restrictions.

Expected texture
Powder or cream — matte or shimmer finish depending on formula
SpreadabilityVery easy
AbsorptionFast
Tackiness / ResidueNone
Finish:Variable — matte, dewy, or natural depending on formula

Pigment-rich and blendable — designed for buildable, even coverage. Silicones create a smooth, velvety "slip" with a blurring sensory effect. Slight initial tackiness that fades into a hydrated dewy finish. Cooling sensation on application with rapid dry-down.
