A ban on the sale of cosmetics with high concentrations of retinol may soon come into force
We would like to remind you that the European Commission is working on a regulation limiting the use of retinol in cosmetics.
The draft regulation assumes that ingredients will have to meet the requirements related to concentration limits set at 0.05% for balms and 0.3% for other cosmetic products. Such restrictions mean that products available on the market will not be able to contain higher concentrations of retinol, retinyl palmitate and retinyl acetate

This means that cosmetics containing retinol concentrations exceeding 0.3% may soon disappear from store shelves. We will not buy some popular products from The Ordinary, Drunk Elephant or Nacomi brands. Only cosmetics with low concentrations of retinol will remain - up to 0.3%.
Manufacturers will have 18 months from the publication of the regulation to adapt to the new regulations by creating new cosmetics, and 36 months - in the case of those already available for sale in the European Union.
Is this why ingredient manufacturers are vying for attention by introducing new alternatives to retinol?
