Cuminaldehyde, p-Cymene: Requests for Opinions to the SCCS

On 29 July 2026, the SCCS (Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety) approved, by written procedure, two mandates from the European Commission to assess the safety of Cuminaldehyde, on the one hand, and p-Cymene, on the other. These two fragrance ingredients are threatened with CLH classification as substances toxic to reproduction and, consequently, with a possible ban as CMRs.

Reminder: entry into force of the latest version of the European Glossary of Cosmetic Ingredients

It sets out the names that must be used in the list of ingredients, which must appear on the labelling of cosmetic products. The latest version of this Glossary, published in July 2025, comes into force on 30 July 2026.

Regulation 2022/1181: full implementation on 31 July 2026

It comes into force for products made available on the market this 31 July. Regulation 2022/1181 of 8 July 2022 amended the preamble to Annex V (authorised preservatives) of Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 to define the new threshold for labelling the presence of formaldehyde releasers.

Labeling of allergens: are you ready?

This is the first step in the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1545: from 31 July 2026, all cosmetic products newly placed on the market in the European Union must include, in the list of ingredients on the labelling, the allergens featured on the list, which contains more than 80 such substances.

The European Commission notifies an "Omnibus+" (CMRs and other ingredients)

On 8 July 2026, the European Commission notified a draft Regulation aimed, on the one hand, at prohibiting the use in cosmetics of substances classified as CMR under Delegated Regulation (EU) 2025/1222 (23rd ATP to the CLP Regulation), and, on the other hand, at introducing or amending restrictions applicable to several ingredients recently assessed by the SCCS.
