BREXIT REVIEW REGULATORY
‘

September, in its current wording, and in the applicable regulations to cosmetic products.

brands and manufacturers have until 31 December 2022 to make the necessary changes. These include printing the country of origin and the relevant RP to labels. • Products sold in the UK, which are made in the EU, will need to have the specific country noted, eg, ‘Made in Italy/France’;
• Products sold in the EU, which are made in the UK, will need to be labelled: ‘Made in the UK’.
LOOKING AHEAD TO THE FUTURE For an industry that was so ill- prepared for such huge changes, the cosmetics sector has managed to continue trading surprisingly well. However, at the moment, the UK is still heavily tied to EU legislation – with the UK replicating many of the same regulations. Therefore, the future might not be quite so plain sailing. There are many unknowns ahead of us. We do not know what will happen
when the EU issues new legislative changes, nor how the UK will manage these. We do not yet understand how the UK will handle ingredient restriction changes, how closely we will align with the EU, nor how the UK will manage being a third country. It is set to be an interesting journey but can be made all the smoother with a specialist partner to help navigate the changes. Now Brexit has actually happened, there is no longer any uncertainty – changes are inevitable.
