Learn more about our key roles.... Launched in 2008, thefactsabout.co.uk is an exciting website for consumers that provides facts about cosmetic products and issues in the media.   EC Cosmetics Regulation 22/12/09 – The new EC Cosmetics Regulation 2009, which will replace the existing EC Cosmetics Directive (76/768/EEC) in 2013, has been published in the Official Journal today.  The CTPA is working closely with Colipa, the European cosmetic trade association to develop industry guidance on implementation of the new EC Cosmetics Regulation. The European Commission has already started on the detailed planning of the new EU-wide systems that will be required under notification, cosmetovigilance and enforcement procedures now that national legislation is being replaced.  Colipa is an active member of the EU working groups and the CTPA is well placed to offer member guidance.  If you are not yet in membership, fill out the enquiry form, under no obligation, today - see the Join Us brochure.
