Environmental claim substantiation audit
Compliance beyond the Cosmetics Regulation
At Bloom Regulatory our goal is to make sure that your products are not only compliant with the Cosmetics Regulation but also with additional relevant legislation so that your cosmetics can be freely sold. We are seeing a lot of legal initiatives, mainly on the environmental landscape, that are disturbing the market free circulation principle and which means that today following the EU or UK Cosmetics Regulation is not sufficient to ensure market access particularly in relation to environmental claims.
We are fully committed to support companies developing green goals and helping them to develop environmental strategies. Every day we learn more about the planet and how we, as businesses, consumers and citizens impact the environment in a changing world. As a result, we need to try new ideas and implement and monitor them to assess their suitability.
How we can help
We advise on the acceptability of green claims and emphasise the importance of being transparent and honest so as to avoid creating misleading environmental claims.
Environmental claims should still not be used unless robust evidence substantiating the claim can be provided for the product throughout its full life cycle, from manufacture to disposal.
We take into account;
● Our knowledge of regional acceptability of green claims
● EU member state initiatives
● ASA/ UK Green claims code
● European Green Claims Directive
● Global advertising codes
● Review of substantiation (including packaging documentation, testing e.g. biodegradability of formula) to ensure robustness in supporting the proposed claim, taking into account the full lifecycle of the product.
