DATA
The complete EU Annex II — all 1,720 prohibited entries — plus the 2026 changes on top.
The base list is the official CosIng export of Annex II (last updated by the Commission 13 February 2025).
Layered over it, read from primary text on 17 August 2026:
SI 2026/23,
SI 2026/109 and
Regulation (EU) 2026/78.
Entries added or amended after 31 December 2020 are marked Check GB, because Great Britain did not inherit those automatically through retained law.
This is not a live feed — nothing here updates itself. Before acting on a finding, open the citation on the card and read the entry.
HOW
Paste the INCI list exactly as it appears on your specification or label — commas, semicolons or line breaks all work. The screener matches INCI names and 97 common synonyms and trade names, because a raw material rarely arrives under the name the Annex uses.
Nothing you paste leaves your browser until you unlock a check, and even then only the matched entry codes are sent — never your list.

SRC
Every finding above links to the instrument it comes from. This dataset was built by reading those texts, not by summarising commentary about them.
Great Britain — SI 2026/23 on legislation.gov.uk. The Schedule lists the sixteen prohibited substances as Annex II entries 1745 to 1760, with CAS and EC numbers. Regulation 3 sets the transitional dates.
European Union — Regulation (EU) 2026/78 (Omnibus VIII) on EUR-Lex, and the consolidated Regulation (EC) 1223/2009.
Consolidated Annexes are the version to check before you act. An amending instrument tells you what changed; only the consolidated text tells you what the rule now says.

LIMITS
Annex II is complete here. Annex III is not. All 1,720 prohibited entries are screened, matched on name, listed synonym or CAS number. The restricted list is a curated selection covering the substances that matter most in practice, not the full Annex III — so a restricted ingredient may be present in your formula and not flagged here.
It cannot see your concentrations. A restricted substance may be perfectly lawful in your formula or well over the limit, and this cannot tell you which. It matches names, so a trade name, a misspelling or a raw material described by function will not be recognised — and anything not recognised is simply unknown to it, which is not the same as permitted. Annex II entries also routinely cover salts, esters and derivatives beyond the name shown, which a name match will miss.
Verify every finding against the consolidated Annexes before you act.
