[EU] New Version of EU Borderline Manual Published

A new version of the EU Borderline Manual has been published.

Two new entries have been added into the manual:

1.10 ‘Self-Tanning Concentrates’ – Within the manual, self-tanning drops or concentrates are considered as products that are applied to the skin following being mixed with another cosmetic product according to associated use instructions.  In their conclusion such products which are applied directly to the skin or require mixing by the end-user with another cosmetic product can be considered cosmetic products.

  • ‘Oral drops, sprays or gels’ – The classification of products considered as ‘Oral drops, sprays or gels’ which claim a cosmetic function must be made by the national competent authorities on a case-by-case basis. The manual outlines criteria that such products would need to be assessed against.
