The list includes several benzophenones, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, triphenyl phosphate, and butylated hydroxyanisole.

## The deadline has passed

The February 5, 2026 update extended the stated submission deadline to June 30, 2026. As of this review, that date has passed. This entry records the published request; it does not invite submissions or establish that late submissions will be accepted.

## What to follow next

A request for evidence is a step in an assessment process, rather than a new ingredient ban. Follow subsequent OPSS publications for any assessment outcome or proposed regulatory change.

The jurisdiction also matters. [GOV.UK’s Great Britain guidance](https://www.gov.uk/guidance/making-cosmetic-products-available-to-consumers-in-great-britain) applies to England, Scotland, and Wales and links separately to Northern Ireland guidance.
