The sale and distribution of cosmetic products in Spain is subject to strict labeling and presentation regulations, especially regarding recycling and packaging waste management. With the <\/span>Royal Decree 1055\/2022<\/b>, which will come into force on January 1, 2025, new guidelines are introduced that seek to promote a circular economy, reduce the environmental impact of packaging, and improve product traceability in the Spanish market. In this article, we will explore the main changes that this regulation implies for <\/span>cosmetic labeling<\/b> and how to comply with these requirements efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

European regulatory context: Regulation 1223\/2009<\/span><\/h2>\n

The <\/span>labeling of cosmetic products <\/b>in Europe is already regulated through <\/span>Regulation 1223\/2009<\/b>, which establishes the safety, transparency, and quality standards that products marketed in the European Union must meet. This regulation requires that the label of each cosmetic product include essential details such as the list of ingredients, usage warnings, the manufacturer or distributor, and the expiration date. However, in recent years, the European Union has promoted additional regulations to reduce the environmental impact of packaging. In this line, the <\/span>Royal Decree 1055\/2022<\/b> adds to the European regulatory framework, integrating new measures that reinforce the recycling and reuse of packaging materials in Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entry into force of Royal Decree 1055\/2022<\/span><\/h2>\n

Starting January 1, 2025, all companies that distribute products with packaging in Spain must comply with the requirements of <\/span>Royal Decree 1055\/2022<\/b>, which directly affects the cosmetics, food, cleaning products, and other consumer goods sectors. This decree’s main objective is to reduce the volume of waste generated and promote the recycling and reuse of packaging. For cosmetic companies, this implies significant adjustments in the design and <\/span>labeling of their products<\/b>, which must comply with new environmental information and transparency obligations.<\/span><\/p>\n
