Global High-Concern Ingredient Report Series: Vol. 2 on PFAS in Cosmetics

As global regulations continue to evolve and consumer expectations for product safety increase, high-concern ingredients have become a key focus for regulators and industry stakeholders worldwide. ChemLinked is pleased to introduce the Global High-Concern Ingredient Report Series, a monthly publication designed to provide timely insights into the regulatory landscape, safety concerns, and compliance requirements for high-concern ingredients in cosmetic products across global markets. Each issue focuses on a specific substance or substance group that has attracted significant regulatory attention, helping manufacturers, brand owners, and regulatory professionals stay informed of evolving requirements and emerging trends.

Vol. 2 Regulatory Requirements for PFAS in Cosmetics

Volume 2 of the series focuses on per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in cosmetics. Due to their persistence in the environment, potential for bioaccumulation, and growing concerns over adverse effects on human health, PFAS have come under increasing regulatory scrutiny worldwide. Regulatory authorities in major global markets have introduced restrictions or prohibitions on specific PFAS and are continuing to strengthen regulatory controls. Manufacturers are therefore expected to closely monitor evolving regulatory requirements, assess the presence of PFAS in formulations, and ensure compliance before placing products on the market.
