ICMAD To Host REACH Webinar

The Independent Cosmetic Manufacturers and Distributors (ICMAD) will host a webinar on the European regulation on chemical substances, Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH). Kicking off at 1pm ET on November 18, the webinar will cover all the latest updates in the REACH regulations that cosmetic companies need to know.
 
First enacted in June 2007, REACH called for the review of all chemicals as a precautionary principle, requiring additional data and possible action when safety was uncertain. Manufacturers, importers, and downstream users are required to ensure the safety of the chemicals used in their products sold in Europe. Learn the latest recommendations and which chemicals have been declared safe for use by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), ensuring that your products will be able to be sold within the European Union.
 
The webinar will be taught by ICMAD International Committee Chair Carl Geffken and Marie Roussel, manager for EcoMundo’s North American branch based in Vancouver and former REACH project manager. A specialist in European regulatory management with a focus in cosmetic regulation and REACH, Roussel can help companies through the REACH requirements, illustrating which ingredients to use and which to avoid. Featuring discussion about the latest updates and upcoming research, this webinar is a must for all cosmetics professionals looking to sell in the European market.
