The topic of banning ingredients in cosmetics is one of the most complex for the professional community. It directly affects both patient safety and the work of cosmetologists, brands, distributors, and manufacturers. Therefore, it is important to focus not on general information noise, but on the real regulatory framework and scientific data.

Banning ingredients: key facts to understand

The issue of banning ingredients in skincare is a complex and often controversial one. It is a hotly debated topic in the professional community, as it touches on safety, legislation and the market at the same time.

  • manufacturer lobbies;
  • cultural and regulatory traditions.
