EU Cosmetics Regulation Responsible Person
To legally place cosmetics on the EU and EEA markets, manufacturers must comply with one of the world’s strictest regulations, the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. A key requirement under this regulation is the designation of a Responsible Person (RP) based in the European Union. Whether you are a non-EU manufacturer or an EU-based company outsourcing regulatory responsibilities, having a qualified RP is essential to market access and compliance.
Legal background
Under EU law, every cosmetic product sold in the EU must have a designated Responsible Person. This person or legal entity ensures the product complies with all applicable requirements before it reaches consumers. Working with a trusted, experienced RP like Obelis protects your brand, ensures market continuity, and keeps your product fully aligned with EU law.
