"The SCCS Notes of Guidance for the Testing of Cosmetic Ingredients and their Safety Evaluation - 12th Revision" is now published

The EU has some of the strongest consumer protection laws in the world, and that includes regulations about the safety of cosmetics and their ingredients. Cosmetic ingredients must be proven to be safe to the consumer before they are allowed on the EU market and this safety is based on safe ingredients. But how do cosmetic companies prove the safety of cosmetic ingredients? And how do authorities know which standards to apply, and which laws must be complied with?

The Notes of Guidance for the Testing of Cosmetic Ingredients and their Safety Evaluation provide information about current EU legislation to public authorities and the cosmetic industry, so that they can ensure to be in compliance. This saves time, money and effort to everyone filing safety dossiers, but it also warrants that EU citizens continue to benefit from the most stringent cosmetic safety legislation in the world and can feel confident about using products available on the EU market.
