Regulation of Cosmetic Products in the United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has strict regulations regarding cosmetic products, ensuring the safety and quality of products available on the market. Following Brexit, the United Kingdom implemented its own regulations based on the UK Cosmetics Regulation, which largely mirrors EU Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009, but with specific requirements for the manufacture, marketing, and labeling of cosmetics within the United Kingdom.
Below, we'll explain the key procedures and requirements for legal compliance of cosmetic products in the UK.
