Brus­sels, 29 April 2026 – Cos­me­tics Euro­pe and the Inter­na­tio­nal Fra­gran­ce Asso­cia­tion wel­co­me the swift adop­tion of the Euro­pean Parliament’s report on Omni­bus VI at today’s ple­nary ses­sion in Stras­bourg. Over recent months, the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment has tho­roughly exa­mi­ned the Euro­pean Commission’s pro­po­sal to redu­ce admi­nis­tra­ti­ve bur­dens, and boost com­pe­ti­ti­ve­ness, with detai­led scru­tiny of the con­su­mer safety pro­vi­sions, which remain robust.

It is with pro­found sad­ness that IFRA announ­ces the pas­sing of Pro­fes­sor Eme­ri­tus James (Jim) Wil­fred Brid­ges, who died at home on 10 April.

Brus­sels, 15 April 2026 – The Omni­bus VI pro­po­sal upda­ting the rules for cos­me­tic pro­ducts has taken a key step, with Mem­bers of the Euro­pean Par­lia­ment agreeing today on a way for­ward. The chan­ges voted on by the Euro­pean Parliament’s com­mit­tees uphold the highest safety stan­dards for con­su­mer cos­me­tic pro­ducts whilst aiming to redu­ce admi­nis­tra­ti­ve bur­dens and boost competitiveness.

Brus­sels, 24 March 2026 – In recent months, Euro­pean con­su­mers and policy­ma­kers have been increa­singly expo­sed to mis­lea­ding and inac­cu­ra­te claims regar­ding the safety of cos­me­tic and fra­gran­ce pro­ducts and their futu­re regu­la­tion. The­se inclu­de asser­tions that the Omni­bus VI revi­sion would relax safety rules for car­ci­no­ge­nic subs­tan­ces, lower safety stan­dards through regu­la­tory sim­pli­fi­ca­tion, or that cos­me­tic pro­ducts pose sig­ni­fi­cant health risks. Such claims are unfoun­ded. Their gro­wing volu­me risks under­mi­ning infor­med policy­ma­king and public trust.
