Consortia
Cosmetics Europe convenes ingredient consortia to bring together independent companies active in the cosmetics sector to prepare information to support the continued use of a cosmetic ingredient. The findings from consortias’ work are submitted to the European Commission or regulatory agencies.
Ingredient consortia managed by Cosmetics Europe are autonomous, self-funded and open to non-members, as well as members of Cosmetics Europe.
New members can join a consortium at any stage during its life – provided a fair contribution to accumulated costs is made – not just when it is set up.
Cosmetics Europe currently manages the work of the following ingredient consortia:
Aluminium Compounds
Benzophenone-4
Ethylhexyl Methoxycinnamate
Heliotropin
Hydrogen Peroxide
Iron Oxide
Methyl Salicylate
Octocrylene
Persulfates
Salicylates
Synthetic Amorphous Silica
Titanium Dioxide
Cosmetics Europe is also involved in ongoing work on other ingredient-related topics (e.g. preservatives, nanomaterials, hair dyes, ethanol, etc.)
If you would like to join a consortium, please contact us at consortia@cosmeticseurope.eu
Call for interest to participate – Octocrylene Restriction CE Consortium
Deadline to respond: 12/04/2024
In light of the restriction intention notified by ANSES in October 2023, Cosmetics Europe is calling for interested companies to join a technical ingredient collaboration related to Octocrylene. The aim of the consortium is to identify information already available on Octocrylene in cosmetics and personal care products, to jointly generate new information and submit it in relation to a possible REACH Annex XV Restriction Proposal.
Consortium participants will accept to contribute a share of the costs incurred by the consortium and to accept the conditions stipulated in the consortium contract, which will be agreed by the consortium participants.
For more information and to notify the initial interest to participate, interested parties are invited to contact Estefania Cardamone until Friday 12th of April 2024.
Membership in the consortium is open also after the deadline to express the interest to participate, i.e. during all the life of the consortium, provided a fair contribution to accumulated costs is made. At any point in time an interested market operator can apply to join a consortium as a late joiner.
