Our labelling consultants conduct detailed regulatory compliance reviews on cosmetics to ensure your products are compliant with the Australian market.<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With more than 50 years of experience in safety and quality, M\u00e9rieux NutriSciences AQ offers guidance and expertise on the regulatory requirements, design, and content of labels for cosmetic products.\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Cosmetic labelling is a critical aspect of product communication providing consumers essential information about the product\u2019s ingredients and safety so they can make informed buying decisions. Consumers must choose safe and effective products to avoid known allergens and irritants. According to Australian laws, cosmetics must have a legible, prominently shown ingredient list that follows the Consumer Goods (Cosmetics) Information Standard 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, cosmetic labels must not be misleading, be socially responsible, and not encourage unrealistic expectations. These are just a few considerations when reviewing a cosmetic label. Selling goods that don\u2019t comply with labelling laws can incur penalties, legal action, negative reputation, recalls, waste, market delays, injury and sometimes death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          What are cosmetic products?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          It is important to ensure your products meet the definition of a cosmetic product, not a therapeutic good. Cosmetic products are defined as most personal care, skin care, make-up and cosmetic products that may be described as \u2018cosmetics\u2019. A cosmetic is defined as a substance or preparation intended for placement in contact with any part of the human body, including the mucous membranes of the oral cavity and the teeth, with a view to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
