Description
European cosmetics at a turning point: revision of cosmetic regulations and new solar framework
Two major developments aimed at providing a clearer, safer, and more consistent framework will transform cosmetic regulations in Europe.
The first concerns the revision of the Cosmetic Products Regulation (CPR): more than 15 years after its adoption, the EU is re-examining the entire text. Discussions are already underway through the European Commission's simplification project.
These discussions focus on sensitive topics: CMR substances, nanomaterials, SCCS governance... The objective is to modernize without complicating, to support innovation while ensuring a high level of safety, and to continue to inspire international regulatory frameworks. The second major undertaking: the revision of the 2006 Solar Recommendation. The EU aims to create an enforceable legal framework, integrate secondary sunscreens, and questions are also being raised about the level of anti-UVA protection as well as SPF categories. Come and discover the progress of the work, the options under discussion, and their potential impacts for the industry. Essential insights to anticipate the future!
