Regulation of Retinol Application in Cosmetics on the European Union Market
The European Union is set to introduce new regulations limiting the use of retinol and its derivatives in cosmetics to 0.05% Retinol Equivalent (RE) in body lotions and 0.3% in other products. These changes, anticipated by late 2023, will require product labels to state that Vitamin A compounds contribute to daily intake levels. Cosmetics manufacturers will have 18 to 36 months to comply with these new standards.
