CMRs Cosmetic Act


On 19 July 2023, the European Commission amended Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament. The new regulation will prohibit the use of 31 carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction (CMR) substances in cosmetic products. The amendment comes into force on 9 August 2023 and is applicable from 1 December 2023.

The EU Commission wants to ensure legal certainty and high human health protection. All CMR substances would be included in the prohibited substances list of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (Annex II) and deleted from the restricted or allowed substances lists. If conditions are met, the lists of restricted or allowed substances would be amended accordingly.

The legislation, officially published in the EU Journal on 20 July, adds the compounds to the list of restricted substances in Annex II of the Cosmetic Products legislation. The published regulation is available here.
