A Close Watcher of Cosmetics Safety Management
In recent years, cosmetics safety management has emerged as an important issue in major countries around the world. The related regulations and standards in the EU have also been modified, making market access somehow difficult and confusing to many enterprises.
As a regulatory consulting group, REACH24H has been keeping a close eye on market trends and regulatory updates, hoping to provide valuable and prompt services to global enterprises in order to ensure streamlined market access. Besides, REACH24H KOREA has also sustained good relationships with both KCII and the IFRA. Realizing the enterprises’ needs for compliance strategies, REACH24H KOREA is more than glad and honoured to initiate communication this time and become the moderator and promoter of all parties.
Workshop on Global Cosmetic Fragrance Safety
In the workshop, experts from both KCII and IFRA gave very informative speeches, especially focusing on the safety and risk assessment for ingredients.
Dr. Jungpyo Lee, Head of the Cosmetic Safety Department of KCII, shared the case study of risk assessments in the EU with the audience. And three experts of IFRA shared the specific standard-setting procedures of IFRA, and a very solid introduction to the assessment requirements, displaying professionalism and preciseness.
