YOUR SKIN MATTERS

Cosmetics

Classification of cosmetic products requires the combined knowledge of local regulations, intended use and mode of action. To navigate the complexities of international classification, EUDRAC offers a comprehensive range of services for cosmetics, to ensure products meet the latest labelling, claim substantiation and safety regulations. EUDRAC is also experienced in categorising ‘borderline’ products, where the distinction of whether they are a cosmetic, medical device or pharmaceutical product is not self-evident.

Strategy

Cosmetics are regulated differently around the globe. While some countries require dossiers for registration, others only require a notification or a simple declaration [e.g. Special use (SUC) and Non special use (non-SUC) Cosmetics, functional cosmetics, general cosmetics, natural cosmetics, grade I and grade II cosmetics, OTC monograph, quasidrugs]. Due to the continuously evolving nature of the regulatory environment, it is becoming more challenging for professionals to fine-tune the best FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) strategy.
