Chemicals in cosmetics and personal care products

How do you manage the risks of chemicals in your cosmetics and personal care products?

Don’t miss critical regulatory updates affecting your products

Updates to cosmetics regulations, alongside consumer- and regulator-driven campaigns for safer alternatives, mean we are entering a new era in the management of cosmetics, personal care products and their ingredients.

In Europe, the EU chemicals strategy for sustainability triggered a revision of the cosmetics Regulation. In the UK a new cosmetics strategy is being developed following Brexit. In the US, the appetite at state level to regulate PFASs is putting cosmetics and personal care products under greater scrutiny. While in Asia, China is seeking out alternative test methods.

Regulatory content and sustainability intelligence
