What they argued
Cosmetics Europe represents the cosmetics and personal care industry in Europe. From dermo-cosmetics, fragrances, make-up and shampoos, to soaps, sunscreens and toothpastes, cosmetics and personal care products play an essential role in consumers’ every-day lives. We welcome the opportunity to engage on the legislative proposal on substantiating green claims.
7 May 2026 Ref. Ares(2026)4700208 - 08/05/2026 Cosmetics Europe’s observations on the Environmental Omnibus and the EU environmental acquis Cosmetics Europe acknowledges the European Commission’s continued efforts to streamline and optimise the EU acquis through the lens of sustainable competitiveness.
Opening of the attached position paper · the full paper is on the Commission’s record (source link above)
Cosmetics Europe welcomes the evaluation of the Cosmetic Products Regulation (CPR) and looks forward to contributing to the process to ensure the European cosmetics and personal care industry can remain competitive, innovative, sustainable and a pillar of European excellence.
We welcome the Commissions proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and support its core aim of establishing a self-standing legal framework with stronger governance for the Agency.
Whilst Cosmetics Europe supports the CSS objective of improving effectiveness, efficiency and coherence of safety assessments across EU legislation, it respectfully submits that any re-allocation of the work of the SCCS to ECHA should uphold the specific and unique cutting-edge expertise that the SCCS has built up over more than 40 years with regards to safety of cosmetic ingredients and products.
Cosmetics Europe looks with great interest at the draft implementing act on the details and format for the disclosure of information on discarded unsold consumer products. We note that many comments presented during the last months, including during the Ecodesign Forum meeting in February 2025, were reflected in the draft act.
