In 2025, EU perfume regulations have been significantly updated with new bans on CMR (carcinogenic, mutagenic, or toxic for reproduction) substances under Regulation (EU) 2025/877, which takes effect September 1, 2025. The regulations also involve an expansion of the list of fragrance allergens that must be declared on product labels and a clearer definition of packaging classification rules impacting cosmetics and borderline products.
Ingredient and substance regulations
CMR bans: The European Commission has banned the use of multiple substances classified as CMR under Regulation (EU) 2025/877.
Impact: Cosmetic products containing these newly banned substances cannot be placed on the EU market after September 1, 2025, and those already on the market must be withdrawn.
Fragrance allergens: The number of fragrance allergens requiring a specific label has more than tripled to 82, including 28 natural extracts and 54 individual chemicals.
Labeling threshold: The disclosure threshold is greater than 0,001% for leave-on products (like perfumes) and greater than 0,01% for rinse-off products.
Transition timeline: Manufacturers have until July 31, 2026, to list the new allergens on new products, with a longer transition period for products already on the market until July 31, 2028.
Packaging and product classification
Packaging clarification: The EU's Borderline Manual update provides clearer definitions for certain packaging types, such as vials and sprays.
Cosmetic vs. medicinal products: New guidelines clarify when products in vials or ampoules may be regulated as medicinal products instead of cosmetics, depending on their intended use.
Additional information
Sustainability: Brands are increasingly incorporating sustainability and responsible consumption messages into their labeling strategies.
Manufacturer responsibility: The EU is emphasizing full producer responsibility for packaging waste.
