Cosmetic Labeling Review

Overview

Package labeling is a vital aspect of marketing cosmetic products, as it is intended to help consumers find out accurate details of the product. Some of the general information required for cosmetic product’s labeling include:

• Product Composition
• Net Content
• Product Identity
• Direction for Use
• Storage Information
• Manufacturer/Distributor/Importer (every country has specific cosmetic product’s labeling requirements)
• Expiry Details
• Language Requirements

However, information such as ingredient lists, warnings/caution statements, language requirements and their placement on the label varies from region to region. Therefore, any product intended to be placed in different markets must meet the region-specific cosmetic labeling requirements of the target markets. For example, EU regulation 1223/2009, US FDA’s Food Drug and Cosmetic Act and Fair Packaging and Labeling Act, Canada’s Food and Drugs Act, Cosmetic Regulation, the Consumer Packaging Label Act etc.
