Cosmetic Label Review

Understanding what is a label review is essential for anyone selling cosmetics in Great Britain. To legally market cosmetic products in Great Britain, labels must comply with the UK Cosmetics Regulation (UKCR). This includes displaying mandatory product information on both primary and secondary packaging, such as the Responsible Person’s (RP) name and address, product function, precautions, and more. While most requirements mirror the EU Cosmetics Regulation, the UK has its own rules regarding country-of-origin declarations and labelling language. Obelis ensures your artwork aligns with these specific UK requirements.

Legal background

Failing to meet label requirements can lead to significant consequences.Incorrect or incomplete labelling can result in regulatory delays, product recalls, or market access restrictions. With the five-year transition period ending on 31 December 2025, manufacturers must now ensure that all cosmetic products sold in the UK display UK-specific labelling information.

Consequences of non-compliance:
      • Delayed or denied product registration on the Submit Cosmetic Product Notification (SCPN) portal.
      • Customs blocks or product removals from the market.
      • Fines and enforcement action from the UK’s competent authorities.
      • Loss of consumer trust and brand reputation.
