Nanomaterials

Nanomaterials in Cosmetic products are mentioned in Article 16 of the New Regulation 1223/2009/EC.

These particles are insoluble or bio-persistent particles intentionally manufactured. The dimension of 1 nanomaterial particle is smaller than 100nm.

Nanomaterials that are not present in the Annexes III, IV and VI, of the new Regulation 1223/2009/EC, must be notified to the CPNP in addition to any Cosmetic Product Notification.

This notification is to be completed by the Responsible Person 6 months prior placing the finished cosmetic product on the market. The CPNP (Cosmetic Product Notification Portal) of the European Commission will support the notification of nanomaterials as well.
