- Disodium 3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate, Pigment Red 57 (0.4 %)
A further was published subsequently which removes 3-Benzylidene Camphor, a UV filter and absorber, from Annex VI of the Cosmetic Products Regulation 2009. Laboratories testing these products on behalf of manufacturers and regulators will need to have validated procedures in place to measure these substances at the appropriate concentrations with an acceptable measurement uncertainty.
