1) Most of the non-compliant cosmetics were notified by Sweden, Lithuania, Italy, Germany and France. 
2) Perfume tops the list of non-compliance cosmetics, followed by skin-lightening cream/lotion, body cream/lotion, face cream and hair dye. 
3) The main non-compliance reasons for the notified cosmetics include detection of prohibited ingredient, failing to meet the use condition, risk of being contaminated, and excessive concentration of heavy metal.

EU Safety Gate, formerly known as RAPEX, is a Europe-wide rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. It enables national authorities in 30 countries (EU countries plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) to quickly exchange information and measures taken against dangerous products, and thus makes member countries possible to screen their markets and take appropriate action should the same product be found.
