The introduction of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) (EU) 2023/988 marks a new era of consumer protection in the EU. The GPSR mandates that all consumer products sold in the EU meet specific safety requirements.
While cosmetic formulas are governed by Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, the accessories and tools often sold alongside them—such as brushes, applicators, and styling tools—fall directly under the GPSR. This regulation introduces stricter requirements for safety, documentation, and online transparency to ensure a high level of consumer protection.
