The European Union has recently taken action to ban certain plant extracts from being used in cosmetics, a move aimed at protecting consumer safety and ensuring the integrity of the cosmetics industry.

Background of the Ban

The ban, effective from January 1, 2024, is part of a broader effort to regulate the use of plant extracts in cosmetics. The European Commission has identified several plant extracts that pose potential health risks, leading to this stringent regulation.
