Certificate in Cosmetic Labels & Claims

Did you know that ANY cosmetic brand, even small cosmetic brands, are directly responsible for their cosmetic claims, labels and ingredient lists? To ensure compliance, you should seek a Cosmetic Regulatory Consultant to review your ingredient lists, cosmetic label information and marketing materials (including social media posts) - OR -learn to take care of these essential cosmetic compliance requirements for your cosmetic brand.

Did you know:

  • Links to external websites cannot contain non-compliant cosmetic claims, even if they are journal reports, historical use of natural substances or testimonials
  • Social media posts must comply with cosmetic regulations including any product reviews or testimonials
  • Just because another brand has non-compliant cosmetic claims or labels does not exempt you from your compliance obligations
  • Being a small cosmetic brand does not exempt you from ensuring cosmetic labels, claims and marketing are compliant
  • Customers and competitors can report you to Regulatory Authorities at any time – and you’ll have to act promptly on any action taken which could include instigating a product recall, removing your products from the market, and possibly a fine

The costs of non-compliance are huge to small brand owners – and damaging to your cosmetic brand’s reputation. Study this Certificate program to remove your risk, become compliant, and market your claims and products loud and proud once you know how!

The Certificate in Cosmetic Labels and Claims program also provides tools to help you:

  • Classify and determine cosmetic claims and evidence needs in EU, US, Aus, Canada, China, South Korea and Japan
  • Collect required evidence to support cosmetic claims
  • Create clever and compliant marketing materials including print media and social media posts
  • Ensure your cosmetic ingredient lists and labels are always right – in various countries
  • Keep up to date with regulatory changes that may impact your cosmetic brand

If you have started, or want to start your own cosmetic brand, then this is the program to help you market and label your products right.
