Cosmetics are regulated in Europe by the EU Cosmetics Reg. 1223/2009 which replaced Directive 76/768/EC. Several additional guidelines, regulations and amendments have been put in place since then (e.g. Decision 2013/674/EU and Regulation (EU) N° 655/2013). Cosmetics products that meet these regulations have to be notified via the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP) prior to placement on the market.
