Our latest podcast is dedicated to the importance of keeping a raw materials portfolio up to date. Manufacturers and suppliers of cosmetic raw materials must comply with all regulatory requirements - including cosmetic regulation of EU, CLP and IFRA - as long as those raw materials are used and available on the market. However, while particular attention is often paid to new raw materials entering a portfolio, existing raw materials may be neglected. Manufacturers and suppliers need a proactive approach—‍not just towards compliance of new materials, but towards updating existing materials in their portfolio.
