Regulation of this industry, however, is neither universal nor consistent. The purpose of this book (the first of a series) is to simplify the complex global Cosmetic Regulatory landscape by addressing the issues affecting the manufacture, packaging, and marketing of cosmetic products across the globe. Included are several chapters that examine the new European Union REACH regulation (Registration Evaluation and Authorization of CHemicals). Other chapters look at regulatory developments of individual countries, toxicity requirements, as well as how to develop a global regulatory strategy. |

| Publisher Description: Global Regulatory Issues for the Cosmetics Industry, Volume 1, emerged from the first annual Cosmetic Regulatory Forum organized by Health and Beauty America (HBA) in September 2006. It is the first of an annual book mini-series surveying issues in this critical and rapidly changing area. These changes affect the health, safety, and well-being of literally billions of consumers, their governments, and the corporations involved in the prodigious task of not only creating novel, effective and safe products, but also complying with regulations, that vary from country to country. This book begins with a discussion of the risks assessment of cosmetic products. This is followed by separate chapters on the regulatory system in some of the major export markets of Canada and Australasia; the evolution and purpose of the EU's REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals); the issue of cosmetic toxicity; and regulatory requirements and warnings for cosmetic products. Subsequent chapters cover the challenges of global chemical compliance; the development of nanotechnology-based products and their potential impact on human health and the environment; and the various packaging regulations relating to colors and additives for products marketed in North America, the EU, and Asia. |
