Hi, how are you?
In this newsletter, we will introduce the main contents of 「 New COSMOS-Standard」which has officially come into effect recently, and the ingredients registered by Sunjin Beauty Science.
The ECOCERT Group has revised the COSMOS standard for the first time in 5 years. In 2021, they conducted a public consultation for COSMOS stakeholders, internal and external experts, and existing certified customers.
As a result, the official version of the standard was issued in January 2023, and the application time is different for each type.
In the case of cosmetic raw materials, the new standards apply from products to be registered after June 1, 2023. Also, data of registered ingredients must be updated by December 1, 2024.
For the finished products, the new standards will be applied from June 1, 2024, which is a year later than the raw materials. Certification of existing registered products is valid only when it is produced before December 1, 2025. All cosmetic products manufactured after December 1, 2025 must comply with the new standards.
The revised standards also reflect regulations and trends in the global cosmetic industry, such as Europe’s nano regulations, RSPO certification, sustainable materials and supply chain management.
To keep up with this trend, companies related to the cosmetic industry must prepare policies to practice Green Chemistry in various aspects from now on.
SUNJIN is keep dealing with the requirements of the standards in order to obtain COSMOS certification for not only existing certified products but also more new products.
Currently, about 60 items have been certified so far.
We will continue to supply products for Green Chemistry through the development and production of products that comply the conditions required by the COSMOS standards.
