The cosmetics industry is one of the largest industries in the world. With a projected 2028 value of over 400 billion US dollars[1]<\/a>, it\u2019s no surprise that new products are constantly launched into the market, bringing with them a host of new ingredients. Now more than ever, manufacturers need to ensure that chemicals in cosmetics are safe and\u00a0correctly labeled<\/a> so consumers know exactly what they are getting. However, many cosmetics companies still struggle with labeling their products in a compliant and easy-to-understand way, hindering their success as they try to expand in the EU.<\/p>\n

Enter CosIng, a database of over 15,000 common ingredients created by the European Commission (EC) in 2008 to help manufacturers address the challenge.<\/p>\n

We look at the CosIng database to see how it can help regulatory affairs professionals achieve the product compliance they need.\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n

    What is CosIng?<\/h2>\n

    CosIng is the official online database for cosmetics ingredients in the EU. It is a glossary of 15,000 common cosmetic ingredient names compiled and updated by the European Commission. It was created in 2008, and since 2009, all nomenclature on cosmetics labeling must be drawn from this list (Article 19(1)(g) of Regulation (EC) No 1223\/2009[2]<\/a>).<\/p>\n

    This regulation was designed to ensure that all cosmetics on the market are suitable for human use and are environmentally sound. It also gives consumers more information about the potential risks of using certain ingredients, allowing them to make informed choices about the products they use.
    \nHowever, it is important to note that the CosIng database holds no legal value \u2013 just because an ingredient is listed does not mean it is safe. Cosmetics manufacturers must still conduct a product safety assessment to ensure any cosmetic products brought to market are safe for both human health and the environment.<\/p>\n

    The database can be searched using CAS, ELINCS or EINECS numbers, and includes regulated and banned cosmetics substances as noted in[3]<\/a>:\"Make-Up<\/p>\n
