Where the regulation applies

The regulation applies to perfumes and cosmetics in consumer packaging for external application and other uses included in the definition of cosmetics. Purpose, composition, consumer age and product claims help distinguish cosmetics from medicines and other categories.

What the regulation covers

Requirements cover permitted ingredients, physicochemical and microbiological parameters, and toxicological and clinical-laboratory safety. Labelling, warnings, storage conditions and evidence for claimed consumer properties are reviewed separately.

Examples of products and facilities

  • creams and lotions
  • shampoos
  • make-up
  • eau de parfum
  • deodorants
  • toothpastes
  • hair colouring products

These examples are indicative. Applicability depends on intended use, specifications and the regulation’s exclusions.

Documentation we help prepare

PLANCK helps review INCI ingredients and labels, determine whether a declaration or state registration applies to the category, and prepare safety assessment evidence.

Before selecting a route, we check the current text, effective date, transitional provisions and exclusions. Listing a regulation does not mean it already applies to every product in that category.

What to prepare

  • Technical description and intended use
  • The key parameters listed above
  • Models, manufacturer and applicant details
  • Existing conformity evidence

What you receive

A requirements matrix for your product: scope, assessment route, necessary evidence and next actions.
