Abstract

Many countries and regions around the world have been making significant updates to their cosmetics regulations, driven by consumer safety concerns, environmental issues, and the demand for greater transparency. Several global initiatives and changes in cosmetics regulation can be seen in places like the European Union, Canada, and Asia. Some global organizations include the International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulation (ICCR). The ICCR is an international group of regulatory authorities from the EU, U.S., Canada, Japan, and Brazil that works to harmonize cosmetics regulations. The goal is to reduce regulatory discrepancies and promote global safety standards. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has established various standards related to cosmetics safety, such as ISO 22716 for Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ISO 16128 for natural and organic cosmetics. These standards are increasingly being adopted by regulators and companies worldwide to ensure consistent safety practices.
