Knowra Cosmetics regulation Cosmetics regulation Cosmetics regulation comprises laws and standards governing cosmetic products, ingredients, labeling, manufacturing, and safety. Requirements vary across jurisdictions and distinguish cosmetics from medicines and other product categories.
Cosmetic product safety assessment : The evaluation of a cosmetic product’s ingredients, exposure, and risks under intended conditions of use. Safety assessments translate regulatory duties into evidence about whether a product can be marketed.
Drug regulation : Laws governing the development, approval, manufacture, and sale of medicinal products. Products making therapeutic claims may fall under drug rules rather than cosmetic rules.
Regulation of cosmetics in the European Union : The EU legal framework for cosmetic products, chiefly established by Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. It sets a detailed model based on a responsible person, safety assessment, and product notification.
Product liability : Legal responsibility for harm caused by defective or unsafe products. Regulatory compliance does not necessarily eliminate civil liability for cosmetic injuries.
Cosmetic ingredient : A substance or mixture used in formulating a cosmetic product. Ingredient restrictions and permitted uses are central tools for controlling product risk.
Medical device regulation : Laws governing products intended for medical purposes that generally achieve their effects without pharmacological action. Some products used on the body are regulated as devices because of their intended medical purpose.
Cosmetics regulation in the United States : The US federal framework governing cosmetics, principally under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act. Its authority, registration duties, and premarket requirements differ from the EU system.
Cosmetic product recall : The removal or correction of cosmetic products that may violate requirements or pose a safety risk. Recall powers turn safety findings into action against products already on the market.
Cosmetic labeling : The information displayed on cosmetic packaging or accompanying materials, including identity, ingredients, and warnings. Label rules communicate product identity, composition, and precautions to consumers.
Food regulation : Laws governing food safety, composition, labeling, and sale. Products applied to the body can be confused with ingestible products such as supplements, which follow different rules.
