AVOIDRoC Multi Correxion 5-in-1 Chest, Neck & Face Cream is rated AVOID by BannedPantry: its label lists 3 ingredients that are banned or restricted outside the US — PEG Compounds (1,4-Dioxane risk) (New York, EU (1,4-dioxane trace limit)); Propyl Paraben (EU, UK); Retinol (EU, UK). All of them are still legal to sell in the US.
Banned or restricted in: New York, EU (1,4-dioxane trace limit)
PEGs themselves are not banned; the concern is 1,4-dioxane contamination. New York (ECL Art. 35/37) caps 1,4-dioxane at 1 ppm in personal-care products (Dec 31 2023) and 10 ppm in cosmetics (Dec 31 2022). The EU prohibits 1,4-dioxane (1223/2009 Annex II), tolerating only trace levels.
Banned or restricted in: EU, UK
Propylparaben (E216) and its sodium salt (E217) were removed as permitted EU food additives (Directive 2006/52/EC) over endocrine concerns and no group ADI could be set; in cosmetics its use is capped (Regulation (EU) No 1004/2014). The US still permits food use.
