Cosmetic

The Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 is the European regulation that defines the requisites that all cosmetic products must meet and adhere to in order to assure a high level of human health protection.

As a matter of fact, the regulation establishes which substances may be used in cosmetic formulas, which ones cannot be used, which ones may only be used in certain amounts, the labelling provisions and how product safety must be assessed prior to marketing.

All companies that produce finished cosmetic products must assure their products are safe for human health and for the proper regulation of the internal market.
