2013 saw Regulation EU 1223/2009 replace Directive 76/768/EC as the main regulatory framework for finished cosmetic products when placed on the EU market. It strengthens the safety of cosmetic products and streamlines the framework for all operators in the sector. The evolution of this regulation also saw the introduction of a “Responsible Person” resident within the EU to be designated for every cosmetic product designed to be sold commercially or used in treatments or even free samples to the general public. The inspiration for The Responsible People Ltd was born out of a requirement for this RP EU residency following the UK’s exit from the EU. So to this end we have based the Company in the Republic of Ireland, which remains in the EU. Subsequently we have been approached by a number of EU clients who export and sell product in the United Kingdom who require an RP in the UK, which has also become a requirement after Brexit, so since this service requires the same knowledge and detail we have added this service to our offering . ‘The Responsible People Ltd’ take a very serious approach to the legal responsibility that they will acquire on assuming this role. This will involve close scrutiny of clients existing documentation from every angle.
