About

Human-derived biological materials categorically prohibited in EU cosmetic products under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Cells, tissues or products of human origin are prohibited in cosmetic products under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (Annex II, entry 798). This restriction reflects concerns about infectious disease transmission, ethical considerations and the fundamental principle that cosmetics must not involve the use of human biological materials. Any cosmetic product containing such ingredients would be non-compliant with EU law.

Known concerns
