A Guide to Cosmetic Claims in the EU
Cosmetic claims are statements made by manufacturers or marketers regarding the benefits and efficacy of their products. In the European Union (EU), cosmetic claims must comply with the strict regulations laid out in Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009, especially Regulation 655/2013, which specifies common criteria for the justification of claims used for cosmetic products. Failure to comply with these regulations can cause significant financial penalties and reputational damage to companies.
