Is there a UK equivalent to factual.com?

Factual.com has data about cosmetic products and their ingredients, and it would be just what I need, except that the vast majority of the products listed are North American. I'm in the UK, and have tried searching for 65 products by UPC code; I found only 6 of them. Does anybody know of an equivalent site with data for UK products, that has an API for automated queries?

I previously asked if anyone knew of a database of cosmetic ingredients, and while all three of the sites listed have the information I'm looking for, none of them seems to have an API, so the only way to retrieve that information would be with a scraper, which I'm sure would violate the terms of service.

I may be a little out of date with this, but don't European products use EAN instead of UPC?
