line8px-black.png

The European Cosmetics & personal care market is valued at €79.8 billion and is the largest globally (CosmeticsEurope.eu), and despite a view that this market is relatively unregulated there are a number of legislative requirements required before such products can be placed on the market. The cosmetics industry spends over €2.35 billion on R&D, suggesting the industry is invested in developing efficacious products that delivery for the consumer.

As part of delivering those products to the consumer business must be in compliance with European laws (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009) by ensuring all ingredients are safe, manufactured in accordance with GMP standards, ensuring claims are not misleading (Regulation (EU) No 655/2013), correctly labelled and notified prior to placing the cosmetic on the market.
