Australia does not maintain a comprehensive list of banned or restricted ingredients for cosmetics. The bans and restrictions on chemicals and consumer product ingredients, including those in cosmetics, are regulated by individual state and territory authorities. Companies are advised to consult the Poison Standards, a compilation of decisions regarding the classification of medicines and chemicals in consumer products, which can serve as a valuable reference when determining the marketability of a product as a cosmetic. The standard covers details such as chemical names, bans and restrictions, maximum concentrations, container specifications, label requirements, etc.
