Ingredients Reviewed
The review scope matters because CIR conclusions often apply to an ingredient family rather than a single INCI name. In this report, the ingredient list includes Ethanolamine and Ethanolamine Salts.
Safety Conclusion
The conclusion for Ethanolamine and Ethanolamine Salts should be read as a CIR panel conclusion, not a regulatory limit. CIR assessments summarize expert-panel safety determinations for cosmetic use, while legal status still depends on the jurisdiction and product category.
For use levels, the report gives this concentration context: 1%; 98.8%; 22%; 5.98%. That language is the safe-use context shown for this page.

Formulation Reading
For formula review, begin with the exact INCI identity and the ingredient group covered by the CIR assessment. If the material is Ethanolamine and Ethanolamine Salts, the relevant comparison is whether the intended use aligns with the practices, concentration ranges, and conditions described in the CIR source.
The ingredient hub at Ethanolamine and Ethanolamine Salts should carry the substance-level profile. This page is the report-level summary, keeping the conclusion, ingredient scope, and use-context language attached to the CIR source rather than treating the conclusion as a universal permission.
