Cosmetic Ingredient
Provides access to EU cosmetic ingredient regulation data, including prohibited and restricted substances with CAS numbers, concentration limits, and regulatory references. AI agents can query this data to verify ingredient compliance. Cosmetic formulators, regulatory analysts, and developers building product safety tools use it for automated checks during formulation.
Overview
The Cosmetic Ingredient MCP server supplies structured data on EU-regulated cosmetic ingredients, focusing on prohibited and restricted substances. It includes CAS numbers for precise identification, maximum allowed concentrations, and links to official regulatory sources like Annex II and III of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
Key Capabilities
- Query prohibited ingredients by name or CAS number to retrieve ban status and references.
- Retrieve concentration limits for restricted ingredients, including conditions for use.
- Access regulatory details such as amendment history and scientific committee opinions.
Data is formatted for direct integration into AI workflows, enabling programmatic compliance verification without manual lookups.
Use Cases
- Formulation Compliance Check: A developer queries CAS 50-00-0 (formaldehyde) to confirm its prohibition in cosmetics, preventing non-compliant recipes.
- Product Labeling Audit: Regulatory teams batch-query ingredients to validate concentration limits against Annex III restrictions like for salicylic acid.
- AI-Powered Ingredient Scanner: Cosmetic apps use the data to flag restricted substances in user-submitted formulas, referencing exact EU regs.
- Supply Chain Validation: Manufacturers cross-reference supplier ingredient lists with EU bans to ensure import readiness.
Who This Is For
- Developers integrating compliance into cosmetic formulation software.
- Data analysts in regulatory affairs for EU market entry.
- AI builders creating tools for beauty product safety and labeling.
