Introduction to Cosmetic Product Labeling
Every cosmetic product, regardless of its type and packaging, must be properly labeled to meet current legal requirements. Proper labeling of cosmetic products is crucial to ensure that consumers receive all necessary information regarding the composition, usage, and safety of the product. Appropriate labeling also helps build brand trust and meet regulatory requirements across various markets.Legal Requirements for Labeling
The labeling of cosmetic products must comply with the following legal acts:- Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 30 November 2009 on cosmetic products.
- The Act of 4 October 2018 on cosmetic products (Dz. U. poz. 2227).
- Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013 of 10 July 2013 laying down common criteria for the justification of claims used in relation to cosmetic products.
Importance of Marketing Claims
In addition to legal requirements, marketing claims describing the functions and effects of the product and their compliance with application and dermatological test results are extremely important. Marketing claims should be clear and not misleading to the customer.- Clarity and Transparency: Claims must be understandable to the consumer and clearly communicate the benefits and effects of the product.
- Compliance with Testing: All marketing claims must be supported by the results of application and dermatological tests to ensure their credibility.
- Regulatory Compliance: Marketing claims must meet the requirements set out in Commission Regulation (EU) No 655/2013 to ensure their legality.
