On April 21st, 2023, the Public Health Institute (“ISP”) issued Exempt Resolution No. 1020, which approves the “Technical Guidelines on recommendations for the labeling of cosmetic products” (the “Guide”).
In the Guide, the ISP indicates that, as a result of surveillance activities, they have detected faults in the information that the labeling of cosmetic products should contain, which range from discrepancies with the authorized content to the absence of data regarding regulatory requirements, which affects the correct use of the products, and may lead to eventual adverse reactions. In this context, the Guide provides specific guidelines on the information that should be included in the packaging, package inserts and labels of this class of products, to contribute to the safe use of cosmetics and the development of cosmetovigilance in the country.
