If you want to make it in the cosmetic field you must a) know all the rules and b) play by the rules. In other words, you must be compliant in all the markets you sell your product. The EU cosmetic regulation 1223/2009 is not a very long legislation compared with e.g. REACH but there are still many things you need to get right! We at Hardford truly enjoy reading and interpreting legislative texts and we take pride in getting every detail right. We also have deep knowledge in how to build winning claims which still are compliant with 655/2013 (the so-called claims regulation) and its guidelines.
Furthermore, we have long experience in the regulatory aspects for suncare products – a tricky field with several standardized tests which differ from each other in different parts of the world. Labelling for suncare products is considered to be even trickier than for other cosmetic products but we can show you how to get it completely right!
We are not only competent in EU legislations, but we also have customers putting products on the market in China, Australia, the USA, the UK, Norway etc. We have excellent cooperation with regulatory consultants in different parts of the world.
We also have long experience from the biocidal and chemical area, since we also produce e.g. hand sanitizers and pet products. Whether you’re focusing on skincare production or expanding into other industries, we’ve got you covered.
We will help you get it right from the beginning, we work fast, and we love to ponder about regulatory questions – every day brings a new interesting question with room for interpretation!
