Date


10:00 to 16:30


Location

AGES Wien 22

The cosmetics event is divided into 3 thematic blocks:

The first part of the programme focuses on sustainability and the Green Deal in the cosmetics sector. Part 2 is dedicated to the topics of microbiology and preservation. In the last part, we will inform you aboutlegal changes and innovations in the Cosmetics Regulation and the Codex chapters.

 

Programme content

  • Part 1: Sustainability and the Green Deal
    • Which "green claims" will soon no longer be permitted and what does the 2023 microplastics ban have to do with cosmetics?
    • Not only the contents, but also the cosmetics packaging should be chosen with the environment in mind.
    • The trend is towards refill packs and self-filling - or no packaging at all.
  • Part 2: Microbiological tests, risks and preservative-free products
    • What is a KBT (preservative load test) and which microbiological reference values apply to cosmetics?
    • Are there cosmetics "without preservatives" and what are microbiologically low-risk cosmetics?
  • Part 3: Legal aspects, reference values and Codex
    • Codex chapter: Liniments and natural cosmetics have been updated.
    • What does "technical avoidability" mean and for which banned substances are there published guideline values?
    • What changes and bans have been adopted recently, and how should allergenic fragrances be labelled in the future when so many new declarable substances are being added?
