Nevertheless, cosmetic claims are strictly regulated in Europe, and a great part is let to the interpretation and control of the responsible person. Therefore, the latter must understand the requirements set by the regulations to apply them correctly.
Entered into force on 11 July 2013, Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 on cosmetic products only defines claims and relies on another regulation, (EU) 655/2013, to set up common criteria justifying the use of claims. It has been then completed by Technical Document on Cosmetic Claims, recommendations written by the Cosmetics working group of the European Commission.
