Consumer safety is the overriding objective for the manufacture and sale of cosmetic and personal care products in Europe – and the foremost responsibility for product safety lies with industry.
The EU Cosmetics Regulation governs how cosmetics and personal care products are made and placed on the market. It is the most comprehensive set of laws for our industry in the world, requiring cosmetics to be safe for human health when applied under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use.
To meet its obligations under the Regulation, our industry must fulfil the following duties before placing a product on the market:
- Run a highly comprehensive safety assessment
- Provide detailed product information
- Comply with ingredient and labeling rules
