Which listings may be out of date?

Formulas change and databases keep the list they were given. Where one database's ingredient list differs from the others on a clear marker (parabens or fragrance), or EWG labels its listing with a formulation year, we show it here as a question, not a finding: a majority of published lists is evidence, not proof of the current formula.

Where the law stands: FDA says cosmetic ingredients, other than colour additives, need no approval before sale (FDA's ingredient page); California bans a named list of intentionally added chemicals (Health and Safety Code section 108980); and the EU keeps its own prohibited and restricted annexes (Regulation 1223/2009 on EUR-Lex).
