As global temperatures and sea levels continue to rise, the urgency of individual and collective environmental responsibility has never been greater. The cosmetics industry, in particular, must play its part in minimising its impact on environmental pollution. Recently, there has been a noticeable shift in this direction, with many companies investing in sustainable practices and systems aimed at reducing their environmental footprint across various stages of the production chain. 🌱 There are no specific refillable cosmetics regulations but rather guidance clarifying the applicable regulatory framework. #Cosmetics #Refillable #Safety #Sustainability #Regualtion #Packaging #Tests #Cosmetovigilance

☀️ Sunscreen products protect our skin from sunburn by using UV filters. These UV filters act as barriers, either absorbing or reflecting UV radiation to limit its harmful effects on the skin. However, the environmental impact of these products remains a key concern. Find out more about the environmental impact of sunscreens in this article by Charline Radola from Galeniform || Formulation et Ecoconception 🌱 || Toxicologue et Expert Réglementaire 🔬 #Cosmetics #Sustainability #Environment #Regulation #Sunscreen #Safety #Health #UV

🧪 The SCCS Scientific Committee has published the final opinion on the inhalation toxicity of the fragrance ingredient Acetylated Vetiver Oil – AVO in sprayable cosmetic products.

💦 The “moisturizing” claim is one of the most widely used in cosmetics, especially for face creams, body lotions, serums, and masks. However, to back this claim, Responsible Persons must provide concrete evidence of the product’s effectiveness in enhancing skin hydration. Our Senior Safety Assessor Andrea Garulli wrote an article for Skinobs, The Testing Sourcing Hub for Beauty that delves into approaches for substantiating moisturizing claims, regulatory requirements, and the methods for measuring the moisturizing efficacy of cosmetic products. #Cosmetics #Moisturizing #Moisturising #Test #Regulation #Claim #Label

❗ The General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR), No. 2023/988 applies from Today! The GPSR replaces the General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) and includes requirements for issues not addressed by the Directive, such as distance selling, for example, e-commerce. In particular, Article 19 of the GPSR sets out the information to be provided by economic operators in offers of products made available on the EU market through online sales or other means of distance selling. We did a little article about it for our newsletter, check it out to learn more about this Regulation: #Cosmetics #Regulation #GPSR

💄 The first step in selling your cosmetic product in the UK is a Formula Check. This process is particularly important because it ensures that your product is safe for consumers and compliant with UK cosmetic regulations. The Safety Assessor will prepare the Formula Checks UK cosmetics must go through, detailing the formula with INCI ingredient names, along with any restrictions, CLP classification, MoS calculation, impurity content, and suitability for cosmetic use. The report will also indicate whether the formula is compliant or non-compliant, and provide explanations on how to achieve full compliance if necessary. It is important not to confuse the Formula Check with the CPSR. Conducting a proper Formula Check is the first step toward completing a thorough CPSR. You can learn more about this crucial step in our article: #Cosmetics #Safety #Compliance #Regulation #UK #Formula #FormulaCheck #Ingredients #SafetyAssessment

🧪 On November 7th, The European Chemicals Agency’s (ECHA) Member State Committee confirmed the addition of Triphenyl Phosphate to the Candidate List of substances of very high concern (SVHC). This substance has endocrine disrupting properties, which were the reason for its inclusion on the list. #Cosmetics #ECHA #SVHC #Safety #Health #TriphenylPhosphate

⚗️ PFAS stands for Per/Polyfluoroalkyl Substances, which includes compounds like PFOS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acid) and PFOA (perfluorooctanoic acid). These man-made chemicals are not found naturally in the environment and are known for their stability due to their long carbon chains, making them impermeable to water and grease. PFOA and PFOS are persistent compounds, meaning they remain in the environment for extended periods after being released. Unless intentionally used in the formulation, PFAS in cosmetics mainly come from packaging or from impurities present at trace levels in ingredients. #Cosmetics #PFAS #Safety #Health #Regulation

🧪 The Scientific Advisory Group on Chemical Safety (SAG-CS) has recently published an opinion on the cosmetic ingredient Bezophenone-3. Benzophenone-3 is used in cosmetic products as a light stabiliser, UV filter or UV absorber. #Cosmetics #SAGCS #Opinion #Safety #Health #Ingredient #UK
