Using Cosmetics

Cosmetic products play an essential role in everyone’s life. Each day 450 million Europeans use soap, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, toothpaste, shaving cream, aftershave, cleanser, perfume, make-up and a host of other products.

The purpose of cosmetic products is to enhance well-being and as a result, self-esteem. Through innovation, cosmetic manufacturers provide better and better products while ensuring that consumer safety remains their highest priority.

The cosmetics industry fully supports the overriding objective of the Cosmetics Directive  to protect consumers. The Directive requires all cosmetic products to be safe. A review of the Cosmetics legislation is currently underway.
