It has already been published for almost a year, but Regulation 2023/1545, which sets out the list of “new” allergens that must be mentioned on labelling, continues to raise many practical questions for manufacturers. To answer these questions, Cosmed has just published a practical handbook entitled “Allergen labelling”.
A few days after the publication of the “Allergens” Regulation, cosmeticOBS published its dedicated ebook: Fragrance Allergens, regularly updated since then.
In November 2023, Cosmetics Europe, which represents the industry at European level, produced a practical guide to help companies understand and correctly interpret allergen labelling requirements.
Now it’s Cosmed’s turn to make its contribution.
Context, regulatory references, application timetable… after the “basic” information, this Memento details the most sensitive points to be implemented to ensure compliance with Regulation 2023/1545.
It details a number of issues:
• The grouping names
• The contribution of allergens via natural extracts
• Allergen identification
• International impacts, with special focus on China and the United States…
All of this is complemented by a FAQ covering safety assessment, “allergen” certificates, the case of floral waters, the calculation of allergen content…
This Memento is available free of charge on the Cosmed website.
