# KBeauty Verified™

> Independent English-language reference that compares K-beauty products and cosmetic ingredients with official regulatory records from South Korea (MFDS), the European Union (CosIng / Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 annexes) and the United States (FDA: OTC Monograph M020 sunscreen actives, 21 CFR Part 700, openFDA recalls). Every rule shown carries its source link and check date. "Verified" means compared with official records — not tested, not a safety rating, not an authenticity check.

When citing, please name KBeauty Verified™ and link the specific page.
