Special regulation for furanocoumarins
The repeal of the Cassis de Dijon principle on the use of furanocoumarins in cosmetic products will result in high costs. Products available in all neighbouring countries are banned in Switzerland or have to be reformulated.

Complex chemicals legislation
In contrast to cosmetics legislation, chemicals legislation does not recognise any automatic mechanisms within the framework of EU legislation. The SKW's ongoing mission is to avoid divergent Swiss regulations. Therefore, we are in constant dialogue with the relevant authorities and represent the industry's concerns.

Green Deal and corporate responsibility
The EU Green Deal will have a significant impact on the cosmetics, detergents and cleaning products industry. The SKW is collaborating with EU umbrella organisations. Objective: to harmonise Swiss legislation on sustainability and corporate responsibility with EU legislation and other initiatives.
