In the United States, Canada, Australia and ASEAN countries, cosmetics are regulated through post-market surveillance rather than pre-market testing. To increase understanding of cosmetic product regulations in these markets, Martin Perry and Roger Pendily, cosmetic safety assessors at SGS UK, have written a comprehensive article for Personal Care Magazine. The article highlights the similarities and differences between the regulations for these different markets and EU cosmetic regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. It explains how to comply with the varying regulations when formulating cosmetics for these markets.
