Regulatory Support for Cosmetics
Our expert regulatory team guides you through this process, ensuring your product meets all necessary legal requirements for smooth entry into these key markets, minimising delays and ensuring consumer safety.
Overview of The Regulation
The primary regulation laying down the rules for placing cosmetic products in the European Union (EU) and Northern Ireland (NI) is Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. Following Brexit, cosmetic products marketed in Great Britain (GB) are regulated under the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019.
For every cosmetic product placed in the EU and UK markets, the responsible person must keep a Product Information File (PIF) that contains the following information:
Responsible persons placing their cosmetic products in the EU and NI markets must notify these products in the cosmetic products notification portal (CPNP). In contrast, responsible persons placing their cosmetic products in the GB market must use the products in the Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications (SCPN) portal for the notification.
What It Is & Why It's Needed
In Europe, a cosmetic product is described as any substance or mixture intended to be placed in contact with the external parts of the human body or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with a view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, protecting them, keeping them in good condition or correcting body odours.
Before a cosmetic product can be sold in the European Union or the United Kingdom (UK), the responsible person must submit a notification for the product.
