    In the US, there aren’t really bans on ingredients except things that have been proven to cause harm. I know this is true in the EU too but they also will ban ingredients that “might” cause harm.

    Is there a reason why? Those are very very common combinations that I use in many of my products.

    I don’t think they have any data.

    but IMO they believe ALOEVERA & other ingredients have same properties.

      In California, some types of Aloe are listed on Prop 65 which means if you use them you have to put a cancer warning on your label.

    It is about drugs, not cosmetics, and it’s about India, not the EU.

    “The Drugs Technical Advisory Board (DTAB) has agreed with a report from its sub-committee headed by Dr Nilima Kshirsagar, which declared 16 fixed dose combinations (FDCs) as irrational and recommended for prohibition as these may pose risk to the human beings[…] The sub-committee collected information from the manufacturers of these drugs and examined various aspects related to them, before submitting its recommendation to the Board[…] As reported earlier, the drug regulator banned around 156 FDCs, including pain relief combinations, vitamins, antibiotics, among others last year, based on recommendation from the expert committee[…] According to earlier reports, the list of 16 FDCS considered as irrational include combination of acetyl salicylic acid with ethoheptazine; aloe extract with aloe extract with allantoin, alpha tocopherol acetate, D-panthenol and vitamin A; Aloe extract with vitamin E, dimethicone and glycerine; aloe vera with jojoba oil and vitamin E; aloe vera with orange oil; aloe vera with jojoba oil, wheat germ oil and tea tree oil; aloe vera with vitamin E and herbal; dicyclomine with paracetamol and clidinium bromide; dicyclomine with paracetamol, clidinium bromide and chlordiazepoxide; gliclazide with chromium picolinate; paracetamol with lignocaine; amoxicillin with serratiopeptidase and lactobacillus sporogenes; amoxicillin with cloxacillin, lactic acid bacillus and serrapeptase; amoxicillin and serratiopeptidase; cefadroxil and probenecid; and cefurosime with serratiopeptidase.” - top news, pharmabiz.com, India.
