2024-02-10 Youssef TaziRegulations

EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009

The European Union has one of the most stringent cosmetic regulatory frameworks in the world. Understanding these regulations is crucial for any brand looking to sell in the EU market.

Key Requirements

Product Information File (PIF): Every cosmetic product must have a PIF containing safety assessments, product descriptions, and manufacturing details.

Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR): A qualified safety assessor must evaluate each product before it can be placed on the market.

CPNP Notification: All cosmetic products must be notified through the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal before being sold in the EU.
