Proposals to implement two EC Directives on the safety of Cosmetic Products
Starting Date: 15-05-07
Closing Date: 03-08-07
This consultation seeks your views on two technical amendments to the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2004 (as amended).
The primary aim of the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2004 (as amended) is to protect public health by requiring cosmetic products to meet the provisions of the Regulations, including restricting the use of certain cosmetic ingredients.
One amendment adds 10 substances, numbered 1234-1243 to the list of banned ingredients, as part of the strategy on hair dyes to ensure that only safe substances are used on finished hair dye products. The other stops the use of certain substances for purposes other than preservatives and changes the conditions for use of certain substances for purposes other than as preservatives.
The opinions of business and consumers are sought on the impact of the proposed amendments.
