Impactful Policy Frameworks
L'Oréal's 'For the Future' Sustainability Commitments (2020)
L'Oréal, a key supplier for HUSH, committed to ensuring 100% of its plastic packaging is from recycled or bio-based sources by 2030, and 95% of ingredients in formulas are bio-based, from abundant minerals, or from circular processes by 2030.
HUSH Hair Salon benefits from increased availability of sustainable products from a major supplier, enhancing its green credentials and appealing to environmentally conscious clients.
Cosmetic Products Enforcement Regulations (2013) (UK retained EU law)
These regulations, retained from EU law, require cosmetic products to be safe, properly labelled, and notified to authorities before being placed on the UK market.
HUSH Hair Salon must ensure all products used comply with safety and labelling standards, directly affecting product sourcing and client safety protocols.
Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 (Amendments for Aesthetics)
While directly for CQC-regulated activities, there's an ongoing push (e.g., Keogh Review recommendations) to expand regulation to non-surgical cosmetic procedures, potentially leading to new licensing for aesthetic services.
HUSH's advanced aesthetics services, like laser hair removal and Hydro2 Facials, may soon require specific licenses and adherence to new regulatory frameworks, impacting training, facility requirements, and operational costs.
