COUNCILDIRECTIVE
of27July1976
on the approximationof the lawsofthe Member States relating to
cosmeticproducts
(76/768/EEC)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community, and in particular Article 100 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social
Committee (2),
Whereas the provisions laid down by law, regulation or administrative
action in force in the Member Statesdefine the compos ition character-istics to which cosmetic products must conform and prescribe rules fortheir labelling and for their packaging; whereas these provisions differ
from one Member State to another;
Whereasthe differencesbetween thes e lawsoblige Community
cosmetic producers to vary their production according to the Member
State for which the products are intended; whereas, consequently, theyhinder trade in these products and, as a result, have a direct effect onthe establishment and functioning of the common market;
Whereas the main objective of these laws is the safeguarding of public
health and whereas, as a result, the pursuit of the same objective mustinspire Community legislation in this sector; whereas, however, this
objective must be attained by means which also take account of
economic and technological requirements;
Whereas it is necessary to determine at Community level the regula-
tions which must be observed as regards the composition, labellingand packaging of cosmetic products;
WhereasthisDirective relatesonly to cos metic productsand not to
pharmaceutical specialities and medicinal products; whereas for thispurpose it is necessary to define the scope of the Directive by deli-miting the field of cosmetics from that of pharmaceuticals; whereasthisdelimitation followsin particular from the detailed definition of
cosmetic products, which refers both to their areas of application and
to the purposes of their use; whereas this Directive is not applicableto the productsthat fall under the definition of cos metic product butare exclusively intended to protect from disease; whereas, moreover, itis advisable to specify that certain products come under this definition,
whilst products containing substances or preparations intended to be
ingested, inhaled, injected or implanted in the human body do notcome under the field of cosmetics;
Whereas in the present state of research, it is advisable to exclude
cosmetic products containing one of the substances listed in Annex Vfrom the scope of this Directive;
Whereas cosmetic products must not be harmful under normal or fore-
seeable conditions of use; whereas in particular it is necessary to takeinto account the possibility of danger to zones of the body that are
contiguousto the area of application;
Whereas, in particular, the determination of the methods of analysis
together with possible modifications or additions which may have to
be made to them on the basis of the results of scientific and technicalresearch, are implementing measures of a technical nature; whereas it1976L0768 — EN — 09.09.2003 — 008.001 — 3

is advisable to entrust their adoption to the Commission, subject to
certain conditions specified in this Directive, for the purpose of simpli-fying and accelerating the procedure;
Whereas technical progress necessitates rapid adaptation of the tech-
nical provisions defined in this Directive and in subsequent Directivesin thisfield; whereasit isadvis able, in order to facilitate implementa-tion of the measures necessary for this purpose, to provide for a
procedure establishing close cooperation between the Member States
and the Commission within the Committee for adaptation to technicalprogress of Directives aimed at the removal of technical obstacles totrade in the cosmetic products sector;
Whereas it is necessary, on the basis of scientific and technical
research, to draw up proposals for lists of authorized substances which
could include antioxidants, hair dyes, preservatives and ultravioletfilters, taking into account in particular the problem of sensitization;
Whereasit could happen that although conforming to the provis ionsof
this Directive and its Annexes, cosmetic products placed on the market
might endanger public health; whereasit istherefore advis able toprovide for a procedure intended to remove thisdanger,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE:

(a) the name or style and the address or registered office of the manu-
facturer or the person responsible for marketing the cosmetic
product who is established within the Community. Such informa-tion may be abbreviated in so far as the abbreviation makes itgenerally possible to identify the undertaking. Member States mayrequire that the country of origin be specified for goods manufac-
tured outside the Community;
b) the nominal content at the time of packaging, given by weight or
by volume, except in the case of packaging containing less thanfive grams or five millilitres, free samples and single-application
packs; for pre-packages normally sold as a number of items, for
which detailsof weight or volume are not s ignificant, the contentneed not be given provided the number of itemsappearson thepackaging. Thisinformation need not be given if the number ofitems is easy to see from the outside or if the product is normallyonly sold individually;
(c) the date of minimum durability shall be indicated by the words:
‘best used before the end of’ followed by either:
— the date itself, or
— detailsof where it appearson the packaging.
The date shall be clearly expressed and shall consist of either the

use, in particular in hairdressing. Where this is impossible for prac-
tical reasons, an enclosed leaflet, label, tape or card must containthat information to which the consumer is referred either by abbre-
viated information or the symbol given in Annex VIII, which must
appear on the container and the packaging;
(e) the batch number of manufacture or the reference for identifying
the goods. Where this is impossible for practical reasons becausethe cosmetic products are too small, such information need appear
only on the packaging;
(f) the function of the product, unless it is clear from the presentation
of the product;
(g) a list of ingredients in descending order of weight at the time they
are added. That list shall be preceded by the word ‘ingredients’.Where that is impossible for practical reasons, an enclosed leaflet,
label, tape or card must contain the ingredients to which the
consumer is referred either by abbreviated information or thesymbol given in Annex VIII, which must appear on the packaging.
The following shall not, however, be regarded as ingredients:— impuritiesin the raw materialsus ed,
— subsidiary technical materials used in the preparation but not
present in the final product,
— materials used in strictly necessary quantities as solvents or as
carriers for perfume and aromatic compositions.
Perfume and aromatic compositions and their raw materials shall
be referred to by the word ‘perfume’ or ‘aroma’. However, the
presence of substances, the mention of which is required under the
column ‘other limitations and requirements’ in Annex III, shall beindicated in the list irrespective of their function in the product.
Ingredients in concentrations of less than 1 % may be listed in any
order after those in concentrations of more than 1 %.
Colouring agentsmay be lis ted in any order after the other ingredi-
ents, in accordance with the colour index number or denominationadopted in Annex IV. For decorative cosmetic products marketedin several colour shades, all colouring agents used in the rangemay be listed, provided that the words ‘may contain’ or the symbol‘+/-’ are added.
An ingredient must be identified by the common name referred to
in Article 7(2) or, failing that, by one of the namesreferred to inArticle 5a(2), first indent.
In accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(2), the
Commission may adapt the criteria and conditions set out in
Commission Directive 95/17/EC of 19 June 1995 laying down
detailed rulesfor the application of Council Directive 76/768/EECas regards the non-inclusion of one or more ingredients on the listused for the labelling of cosmetic products (
1) under which a manu-
facturer may, for reasons of trade secrecy, apply not to include oneor more ingredientson the abovementioned lis t.
Where it is impracticable, for reasons of size or shape, for the particu-
larsreferred to in points(d) and (g) to appear in an enclos ed leaflet,those particulars shall appear on a label, tape or card which is enclosedor attached to the cosmetic product.
In the case of soap, bath balls and other small products where it is
impraticable, for reasons of size or shape, for the particulars referred1976L0768 — EN — 09.09.2003 — 008.001 — 9

to in point (g) to appear on a label, tag, tape or card or in an enclosed
leaflet, those particulars shall appear on a notice in immediate proxi-mity to the container in which the cosmetic product is exposed for sale.
2. For cosmetic products that are not pre-packaged, are packaged at
the point of sale at the purchaser's request, or are pre-packaged for
immediate sale, Member States shall adopt detailed rules for indication
of the particularsreferred to in paragraph 1.
3. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that, in
the labelling, putting up for sale and advertising of cosmetic products,text, names, trade marks, pictures and figurative or other signs are notused to imply that these products have characteristics which they donot have. ►

Furthermore, the manufacturer or the person responsible for placing the
product on the Community market may take advantage, on the productpackaging or in any document, notice, label, ring or collar accompa-
nying or referring to the product, of the fact that no animal tests have
been carried out only if the manufacturer and hiss uppliershave notcarried out or commissioned any animal tests on the finished product,or itsprototype, or any of the ingredientscontained in it, or us ed anyingredients that have been tested on animals by others for the purpose
of developing new cosmetic products. Guidelines shall be adopted in
accordance with the procedure referred to in Article 10(2) andpublished in the Official Journal of the European Union . The European
Parliament shall receive copies of the draft measures submitted to theCommittee.
Article 7

CONTAIN
PREAMBLE
1. Preservatives are substances which may be added to cosmetic products for
the primary purpose of inhibiting the development of micro-organisms in
such products.
2. The substances marked with the symbol (*) may also be added to cosmetic
productsin concentration other than thos e laid down in thisAnnex for other
specific purposes apparent from the presentation of the products, e.g. as
deodorants in soaps or as anti-dandruff agents in shampoos.
3. Other substances used in the formulation of cosmetic products may also have
anti-microbial properties and thus help in the preservation of the products, as,
for instance, many essential oils and some alcohols. These substances are not
included in thisAnnex.
4. For the purposes of this list:
— ‘Salts’ is taken to mean: salts of the cations sodium, potassium, calcium,
magnesium, ammonium and ethanolamines; salts of the anions chloride,
bromide, sulphate, acetate.
— ‘Esters’ is taken to mean: esters of methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl,
isobutyl, phenyl.
5. All finished products containing formaldehyde or substances in this Annex
and which release formaldehyde must be labelled with the warning ‘contains
