India is set to divide the IS 4707 (Part 2) standard into three separate sections. Part 2 will cover the ingredients listed in Annex A List of ingredients termed as “GNRAS” that must not be included in cosmetic products and Annex B List of ingredients that are prohibited unless specific restrictions and conditions are met. Part 3 will contain the preservative list outlined in Annex C List of preservatives allowed with restrictions. Part 4 will contain the U.V. filter list outlined in Annex D.
This standard (Part 4) now incorporates the list of U.V. filters as given in Annex D of IS 4707 (Part 2): 2017 and has been updated to align with the latest EC 1223/2009.
