Safety assessments - Potential pitfalls in the cosmetics industry

Dr. Annelie Struessman of the safety assessment body CONUSBAT spoke to CosmeticsDesign at the recent in-cosmetics event to explain about the challenges faced by companies that are trying to fulfill current safety requirements.

Dr. Struessman moderated at a workshop during the event that aimed to help navigate current requirements for safety assessment in Europe.

The main focus of the workshop was to target information gaps for any finished goods maker or supplier seeking to secure safety assessments for their products.

As Dr. Struessman explained during the interview, this is a problem that is particularly affecting smaller and medium-sized ingredients and finished goods players.
