New EU Cosmetic Legislation - Eyelash Extension Products

8/12/2013

5 Comments

 
For Professionals and Therapists who purchase  skin and body care products for retail purposes and professional treatments from a reputable UK or EU supplier who is fully complying with the new EU cosmetic regulations then you should be covered under your  membership insurance  (subject to all T&C's of the policy being complied with).  If obtaining products from outside the EU   i.e. China or Korea and they were compliant with the new EU regulations, it would still be acceptable. This advice would also apply to the glue that one would use in the course of a lash extension treatment.

It is up to the  therapists  to check with their supplier that the products they are purchasing  comply with the new Law.  UK Distributors of  Eyelash Adhesive, must check that the manufacturer in Asia is complying with the New Regulations.  Please seek advise from your Insurer if you are not sure.

New Cosmetics Regulation

From July 2013 a new EU regulation (number 1223/2009) replaces the previous Cosmetics Directive in order to ensure that consumers’ health is protected by monitoring the labelling and composition of cosmetic products. But what does this all mean and where does it leave you as a therapist?

The new regulation, designed to protect consumers, places responsibilities on the manufacturers and suppliers of cosmetic products which are available commercially. The regulation will monitor a few different areas of the manufacturing process including labelling, the use of restricted substances, safety testing and reports, notifying relevant authorities and traceability. Many products are likely to be affected including, but not limited to, spray tanning solution, skincare products and aromatherapy oils.

If you currently supply or make your own cosmetic products, you would need to be able to follow this regulation. This would involve you, as the person responsible for your cosmetic product, acquiring a valid and approved toxicology assessment for your products if you want to sell them anywhere within the EU, as well as labelling the products appropriately. 

The regulation also bans the use of animal testing for not only finished product but also every single ingredient involved in the making of the product, citing that the act of testing on animals must be replaced by alternative methods.

We advise therapists check with their supplier if they are unsure as to whether they are fully complying with the new regulations.
