Substance Name	EC No.	CAS No.	Ref No.	Product type, body parts	Maximum Threshold	Restriction(s)
Residual oils (petroleum), clay-treated A complex combination of hydrocarbons obtained by treatment of a residual oil with a natural or modified clay in either a contacting or percolation process to remove the trace amounts of polar compounds and impurities present. It consists of hydrocarbons having carbon numbers predominantly higher than C25 and boiling above approximately 400°C (752°F).	265-143-5	64742-41-2	773	All cosmetic products	0 %	Not permitted if substance contains > 3% (w/w) DMSO extract	Details
