Amendments to the Annexes of Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009
During July, the European Commission has published several amendments to the annexes of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products.
Three amendments were published on 15 July:
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/1120, of 11 July 2016 amending Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/1121, of 11 July 2016 amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/1143, of 13 July 2016 amending Annex VI to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
Thus, Annex IV on colouring agents, Annex V on preservatives and Annex VI on sunscreens were updated. These are minor amendments, adding or removing ingredients from the lists.
Double amendment to the Annex on preservatives
In the case of Annex V on preservatives, there has also been a second update:
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/1198, of 22 July 2016 amending Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council on cosmetic products
