Cosmetics Regulation in Europe becomes more complex in this decennium. Adaptations in the field of perfume ingredients, colourants and c-GMP are continuously developing. Another very important development is REACH. Not only chemical companies, but also cosmetic, cosmetic ingredient and household companies are affected by REACH. REACH and other related legislation require a major effort from the industry to achieve compliance. Besides this, the new CLP regulation affects the cosmetic, household and cleaning industries. Royal Haskoning matches this diversity with tailor-made services and consultancy.
