violation Homosalate European Union (EU) 9.2%

Homosalate is present at 9.2%, above the EU maximum of 7.34% for face products. The concentration must be reduced or the ingredient reformulated before sale in the EU.

Reduce homosalate to 7.34% or below, or substitute part of the UV load with another approved filter to hold SPF 30.

EU Reg. 2022/1176 · Annex VI/3 SCCS/1638/21

Based on your restriction data.

Options to replace Homosalate in the US, EU, and UK Ranked · re-validated against every target market

Each candidate shares Homosalate's UV-filter function, is permitted (or capped) in all three markets, and is proposed at a concentration the compliance engine re-checked as clean.

score 0.94 Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine CAS 187393-00-6 · Tinosorb S use at 3.0%

Broad-spectrum UVA/UVB filter; permitted at up to 10% in the EU and UK and cleared for US OTC use, so it carries the SPF load Homosalate is being pulled from without any market conflict.

US ✓ permitted EU ✓ max 10% UK ✓ max 10% EU Annex VI/28

☉ Use data · More formula history is needed before VAIN can report how often brands use this swap and whether it clears a check.

score 0.88 Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate CAS 302776-68-7 · Uvinul A Plus use at 5.0%

UVA filter permitted at up to 10% in the EU/UK; pairs with an existing UVB filter to rebuild the SPF that Homosalate contributed. Capped here to the tightest cross-market limit.

US ✓ permitted EU ✓ max 10% UK ✓ max 10% EU Annex VI/29

☉ Use data · VAIN does not yet have enough formula history to report results for this swap.

dropped Octinoxate (Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate) CAS 5466-77-3

VAIN excludes this UVB filter because Hawaii bans it and EU reviews may limit it.

Why these get smarter than anyone can copy

VAIN uses de-identified formula history to track which changes passed a check and remained in later versions. That history helps rank future options.

VAIN shows a trend after enough brands have made the same change. Counts do not name or identify a brand.

warning Phenoxyethanol European Union (EU) 0.9%

Phenoxyethanol at 0.9% is within the 1.0% limit, but combined with other preservatives this leaves little headroom. Verify total preservative load stays compliant.

No change required, but document the preservative system for your PIF.

EU Annex V/29

warning Fragrance (allergens) United States (US)

Fragrance contains linalool and limonene above 0.001%. Not restricted for US sale, but MoCRA labeling of fragrance allergens is expected once the FDA rule finalizes.

Prepare an allergen declaration now so labels are ready when the rule takes effect.

MoCRA §3505

pass Zinc Oxide United States (US) 18%

Zinc oxide at 18% is within the US OTC sunscreen monograph limit of 25% and is a permitted UV filter.

21 CFR 352.10
