Where regulators stand
Shown side by side, never combinedEach jurisdiction is reported on its own terms, from its own official lists. Where they disagree, that disagreement is the finding. Absence from a list is never a safety claim.
European Union
FlaggedCarries a formal hazard classification. Not itself a cosmetic use rule.

Canada
No listing foundNot on the lists we hold for this jurisdiction. That is an absence of a listing, not a safety finding.
Checked: Health Canada Cosmetic Ingredient Hotlist.
