What is an EU Cosmetics Responsible Person?
To sell cosmetics in Europe since July 11, 2013, having an EU Responsible Person based in the European Union is legally required under Regulation EC No 1223/2009. This regulation mandates that each cosmetic product marketed within the EU must have a designated Responsible Person (RP).
The Responsible Person, also known as the EU Legal Representative or EU Legal Representation, is crucial for ensuring that cosmetic products comply with all relevant regulations and safety standards to protect human health.
Under Article 4 of Regulation EC No 1223/2009, the Responsible Person is a legal or natural entity ensuring that each cosmetic product on the EU market complies with all relevant regulations. This role can be fulfilled by the manufacturer (if they are based in the EU), the importer, the distributor, or a designated third party located in the EU.
Compliance with these obligations is essential for maintaining product safety and regulatory adherence within the European Union.
