2025 Cosmetic Regulatory Updates

Are you compliant in both the UK and the EU? You’d better be.

Post-Brexit, cosmetics brands can no longer afford a one-size-fits-all compliance strategy. Regulatory divergence is accelerating, and what’s legal in London may be banned in Berlin. With billions at stake and new rules taking effect in 2025 and beyond, overlooking even one detail could mean product recalls, financial penalties, or being pulled from shelves.

Our latest compliance comparison breaks down the critical differences between UK and EU rules. From Responsible Person (RP) location requirements to labelling, notification portals, banned ingredients, and nanomaterial regulations, this is your go-to reference to avoid costly mistakes.
