Reference
The data our tools run on, published so you can check it. Every value is transcribed from the primary regulatory text and linked back to it, so nothing here asks you to take our word for it.
Last checked 21 August 2026: checked against Reg (EU) 2026/909, which restricted Citral and Benzyl Salicylate but left the declarable list unchanged, and against the Great Britain list, which still differs from the EU one.
82 substances
Every allergen that must be named individually once it crosses the threshold, with CAS and EC numbers and its Annex III entry. The EU lists 81; Great Britain still lists 25, and that difference is the part most tools get wrong.
All 82 substances12 oils
The two names every soaping oil has: the botanical one it keeps in a lotion or balm, and the saponified one it takes in cold-process soap. Each cited by its glossary reference number.
