Regulatory Reference Zone

The regulatory reference zone is designed for easy at-a-glance identification and access to regulations concerning cosmetic products across the globe. Click on any of the regulation titles to open the whole regulation as a pdf in a new browser. I personally use this system as simple access to regulations without having to search them up every time (which can prove difficult with certain regulations).


Our regulatory reference zone is split into regions, each region has their own specific set of regulations. These regions are they further divided into types of regulations, for example, the most relevant regulations for cosmetics are listed under ‘cosmetic regulations’ and other categories follow.


There are also links to articles which help make sense of the regulations, use these alongside the regulatory reference zone to build your knowledge of international cosmetic regulations.
