Have you ever wondered what exactly a cosmetic is? Most people don’t give it a second thought. And why should they? But the people who drafted the EU’s Cosmetic Regulations had to be a bit more systematic and before they started coming up with the regulations they drew up a list of the thirty categories of cosmetic product which they covered. Being a bit of an imp I instantly tried to think of any they had left out. I couldn’t, but I wondered if any of the shiny, happy and reproductively successful people who read this blog could think of any.
