1 REGULATION (EC) No 1223/2009 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products

What legal requirements must be observed when manufacturing and selling cosmetic products in particular? 

The most important requirements for cosmetics are set out in EU Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 on cosmetic products. It primarily regulates aspects of product safety for human health, e.g. which ingredients are not permitted, which restrictions apply and how the products must be correctly labelled.

In which countries does the Cosmetics Regulation apply?

The EU Cosmetics Regulation applies directly in every EU member state and does not have to be converted into national law, thus ensuring a uniform standard within Europe. However, the language requirements for labelling are country-specific and there may be additional reporting or labelling obligations in various member states.

Who is responsible for compliance with the legal provisions?

If a cosmetic product is placed on the market within the European Union, a Responsible Person must be designated. In practice, this is often the manufacturer of the product, but it can also be an importer or a distributor if the product is placed on the market under their name or trade mark. The most important obligations of the Responsible Person are listed in Article 5 of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What must be observed when importing cosmetic products into the EU?

For every product that is imported into the EU and placed on the market, the importer is initially the Responsible Person – with all the resulting obligations. However, he can also transfer this responsibility via a mandate to a legal or natural person established in the Community, who accepts this mandate in writing. Upon import, the products must comply with the provisions of the Cosmetics Regulation and be labelled with the address of the Responsible Person.
