Cosmetic regulatory compliance

Cosmetic regulatory compliance means meeting the laws that govern how cosmetics are formulated, tested, labeled, and marketed in each market where they are sold. Rules differ by region and cover allowed ingredients, safety substantiation, claims, and labeling. Responsibility for compliance generally rests with the brand bringing the product to market.
