MODIFIED +27 −26 Annex V LIST OF PRESERVATIVES ALLOWED IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS

applies from: unchanged

Sources disagree — the text comparison found this change; the EU's own amendment metadata does not list it. Both are shown; neither is overruled.

The only textual difference between the two versions is that entry 51's ingredient name 'Sodium N-(hydroxymethyl)glycinate' has a line break inserted between 'glycinate' and the following word, splitting it across two lines, with no change to the substance identification, CAS/EC numbers, concentration limit, or wording of conditions.
