Major Global Regulatory Updates Impacting Cosmetics in 2026

European Union – Strengthened Ingredient Restrictions

The European Union has introduced new restrictions and revised safety requirements for various cosmetic ingredients, preservatives, UV filters and impurities. Manufacturers must ensure that formulations comply with updated concentration limits and prohibited substance lists before placing products on the EU market.

These changes require manufacturers to review existing formulations and generate analytical evidence supporting product safety and regulatory compliance.
United Kingdom Cosmetic Regulation Updates

The UK has introduced additional restrictions on selected Carcinogenic, Mutagenic and Reproductive Toxicity (CMR) substances, revised formaldehyde labeling thresholds, and updated requirements for specific UV filters and restricted ingredients. Manufacturers supplying cosmetic products to the UK market should ensure formulations are evaluated against the latest regulatory amendments.

Continued Implementation of US FDA MoCRA Requirements

The Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act (MoCRA) continues to reshape cosmetic regulatory compliance in the United States through enhanced requirements for:

  • Product safety substantiation
  • Facility registration
  • Product listing
  • Adverse event reporting

Scientific laboratory testing plays a critical role in supporting these compliance obligations.
