if you want to look up particular ingredients, this is a good place to start:
http://ec.europa.eu/consumers/cosmetics/cosing/
and the full lists of forbidden substances, restricted substances, permitted colours, permitted preservatives and permitted UV filters can be found here:

good luck!

I doubt there is an acceptable list. Just an unacceptable list.

if you stick with ingredients that have recognised INCI names and adequate data to prove they’re safe to use on humans you should be all right, provided you can justify their usage if necessary, and your safety assessor isn’t too stubborn
where you might run into trouble is if you use industrial-grade materials that have INCI names but aren’t generally used in cosmetics, and aren’t covered by any of the Annexes - it then becomes a question of how much safety data is available and the quality of that data

the site was down for maintenance yesterday, try them again now
parabens and phenoxyethanol are listed in Annex V along with the other preservatives
