Commission Regulation (EU) 2022/2195 of November 10, 2022, introduces new restrictions for the following substances in cosmetic products: Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT), Acid Yellow 3, Homosalate, Piperazine, and Piperazine (nano).
The Regulation gives the industry some time to adapt to new requirements, depending on the substance.
As of July 1, 2023, cosmetic brands cannot place on the market cosmetic products that do not comply with the new restrictions for Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT) and Acid Yellow 3. Cosmetics already on the market can continue to be made available until January 1, 2024.
