Makeup, haircare, nail care, fragrance & body care
The global colour cosmetics and beauty market is worth $120B+, spanning lipsticks, foundations, mascaras, hair dyes, nail polishes, and fragrances. This category has the most divergent regulatory frameworks globally — colour additives approved in the US may be banned in Europe, and hair dye ingredients face some of the strictest scrutiny of any consumer product.
Regulatory Overview
Colour cosmetics are regulated under cosmetics law globally, but approved colour additive lists differ dramatically between the US (FD&C colours), EU (Annex IV permitted colours), Japan, and other markets. Hair dyes with PPD and related amines face EU restrictions. Fragrance allergen disclosure (EU list of 26) is approaching global adoption.
