As the EU introduces new limits on retinol for skincare and body care, brands now face an important decision: reformulate or reduce concentrations. By November 2025, new products exceeding these limits won’t be marketable, and by May 2027, existing products will also need to comply. Ceechem’s Solution? Look at alternative ingredients that can synergise with lower retinol levels and still deliver excellent efficacy.  AC PomeaShield is a pomegranate polyphenol powerhouse, brands can enhance their formulations by: 🐙Boosting Elastin: Increases intracellular elastin by 22% for smoother, more resilient skin. 🐙Reducing Wrinkles: Supports cellular detoxification and combats oxidative stress to help reduce fine lines. This regulation may be a challenge, but with AC PomeaShield, it’s also an opportunity to deliver anti-aging benefits with a sustainable, innovative approach.

One last thing to look at is the changes to Retinol EU regulations. Let's look at how we can help your brand be compliant. Merry Christmas to all our wonderful customers and supply partners.

From 1 November 2025, the European Union will enforce new regulations on the use of retinol in skincare and body care products. These changes will impact product formulations, labelling, and market availability. Key Requirements: ✅ Skincare Products: Maximum retinol concentration limited to 0.3% ✅ Bodycare Products: Maximum retinol concentration limited to 0.05% ✅ Labeling: All relevant products must carry the statement, "Contains Vitamin A. Consider your daily intake before use." Brands have until 1 May 2027 to ensure all products on the market meet these standards. Non-compliant products must be reformulated or withdrawn from the market by this date. With these new guidelines, the EU is prioritising consumer health and setting clear parameters for product development. For brands, this means careful reformulation planning and proactive communication with consumers to maintain trust and compliance.
