About

Caffeine is subject to EU Annex III restrictions in cosmetic products (maximum concentration limits vary by product type). Guarana seed powder in diluted cosmetic formulations is generally safe, but products containing significant caffeine levels must comply with the regulatory limits set under Regulation 1223/2009.
