What the notification says

The draft Resolution provides for the approval of Common criteria for the justification of claims (product claims) used in relation to cosmetic products. The Criteria establish the requirements for substantiating such claims and the procedure for applying these requirements. The Criteria shall apply to claims in the form of texts, names, trademarks, images, graphic or other signs that explicitly or implicitly convey products characteristics or functions in the labelling, making available on the market and advertising of cosmetic products. It shall apply to any claim, irrespective of the medium or type of marketing tool used, the product functions claimed, and the target audience. The responsible person shall ensure that claims in relation to cosmetic products comply with the established Criteria and are consistent with the documentation proving the effect claimed for the cosmetic product. The Criteria address six aspects: legal compliance, truthfulness, evidentiary support, honesty, fairness and informed decision-making. The draft Resolution also establishes that cosmetic products placed on the market before 31 July 2027 and whose claims do not comply with the newly established Criteria, may continue to be made available on the market until 3 August 2030.
