The UK is one of the largest cosmetic markets in the world, with a cosmetic industry worth over £10 billion that is expected to continue to grow in the coming years. As demand for cosmetic products continues to increase, regulations are needed to ensure the safety and quality of these products.
The UK implemented its own cosmetic regulations on January 1, 2021, which are a set of rules and requirements for managing safety, labeling, advertising, and distribution. Although it is very similar to the current EU cosmetics regulations, references to the EU have been replaced. As required by Article 13 of the UK Cosmetics Regulations, the UK Government Department Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) launched the Submission Cosmetic Products Notification (SCPN) portal to allow companies to notify cosmetic products entering the UK market from January 1, 2021. UK cosmetic regulations require that Product Information Files (PIFs) be kept up-to-date and available to UK authorities in English. It is also necessary for the responsible person in the UK to be based in the UK, and for the products to be notified in the SCPN as well.
