Impactful Policy Frameworks
EU Cosmetic Products Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009) - Amending Annexes (Ongoing)
The EU Cosmetic Products Regulation is continuously updated, with recent amendments focusing on strengthening safety assessments for certain chemicals, including nanomaterials and endocrine disruptors, and expanding restrictions on substances in cosmetic products.
Beconfident must ensure all new and existing product formulations comply with evolving EU safety standards, potentially requiring reformulation or detailed safety assessments for market access in Sweden and the EU.
Swedish Chemical Agency (KEMI) Regulations (Ongoing Updates)
KEMI regularly updates national regulations concerning chemicals in products, including specific restrictions and reporting requirements for substances used in personal care items sold in Sweden, often stricter than EU minimums.
Beconfident needs to stay informed about and adhere to KEMI's specific national chemical restrictions and reporting obligations for products sold in Sweden, impacting ingredient sourcing and product labeling.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) (EU 2016/679) - Ongoing Enforcement
While not new, GDPR continues to see active enforcement and interpretative guidance regarding consumer data privacy, especially for e-commerce businesses collecting personal and health-related data for personalization and marketing.
Beconfident must maintain strict compliance with GDPR for all customer data collection, storage, and processing, particularly when implementing personalized services or analyzing consumer behavior, to avoid significant fines and maintain trust.
