Executive Summary
INTERNATIONAL HARMONIZATION: CTFA/COLIPA TO ADOPT EU COSMETICS DEFINITION, which includes sunscreens and colors, as the standard the two groups will use in efforts to reconcile disparate regulatory requirements, Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association President Edward Kavanaugh said at the Global Cosmetic Regulatory Harmonization meeting, sponsored by the Italian cosmetics trade association UNIPRO and the European Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (COLIPA), in Florence, Italy April 22-23. The establishment of a universal cosmetics definition represents a milestone for COLIPA and CTFA, Kavanaugh explained. The new standard gives CTFA and COLIPA a unified harmonization ideal it can present to governments interested in pursuing the process, he added.
