Home » Cosmetics & Personal Care » UK Amends Cosmetics (Chemical Restrictions) Regulations

On July 6, 2023, the UK issued the new 2023Cosmetics & Personal Care(Restriction of Chemical Substances) regulations, amendments were made to the List of Restricted Substances in Cosmetics (Appendix 3) and the List of Permitted UV Filters in Cosmetics (Appendix 6).

Background of UK Cosmetic Regulations

After the UKs Brexit transition period ended on January 1, 2021, although it still adopts EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 for cosmetics regulation, updates to the regulations are no longer synchronized with the EU, now referred to as the UK Cosmetics Regulation. This set of regulations applies to England, Wales, and Scotland, while cosmetics in Northern Ireland remain under EU Cosmetics Regulation. Therefore, companies exporting to the UK need to pay attention to differences in regulations based on the export destination and take appropriate measures.
