These Regulations amend the Cosmetic Products (Safety) Regulations 2008 (S.I. 2008/1284) (“the Principal Regulations”) to give effect to Commission Directive 2008/88/EC (O.J. No. L256, 24.9.2008, p.12) (as amended by the corrigenda) (O.J. No. L263/26 of 2.10.2008) (“the Directive”). The Directive amends Council Directive 76/768/EEC (O.J. No. L262, 27.9.76, p.169) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States on cosmetic products. Council Directive 76/768/EEC (as previously amended) has been implemented by the Principal Regulations.

Paragraph (c) amends Part 1 of Schedule 4 (list of substances which cosmetic products must not contain except subject to restrictions and conditions) and Part 2 of Schedule 4 (substances listed in Part 2 of Annex III to the Directive which are provisionally allowed) to the Principal Regulations.
