| E914 | Oxidized polyethylene wax | ??? | |
| E915 | Esters of Colophane | Resin obtained from the pine tree Pinus silvestris and related species | |
| E920 | L-Cysteine | An essential amino acid, present in all protein (essential indicates that it is needed by the human body). Derived from proteins, including animal protein and hair | E920 can be obtained from animal sources, including pork; However, can also be gained from man made synthetic origin, through plant extract thus also making it suitable for vegetarians. |
| E921 | L-Cystine | An essential amino acid, present in all protein (essential indicates that it is needed by the human body). Derived from proteins, including animal protein and hair | E921 can be obtained from animal sources, including pork. |
