Did you know that decanting professional cuticle oil into smaller bottles without labels to give away as samples (free or bought) in the UK can be illegal for several reasons🫣 1. Cosmetic Product Regulations: Under UK law, cosmetic products (which include cuticle oils) are regulated by the "UK Cosmetic Products Regulation 2009", following the guidelines of the European Cosmetics Regulation (EC 1223/2009). One of the main requirements is that all cosmetic products placed on the market must be properly labeled, including the name of the product, ingredients, batch number, expiry date, and details of any potential allergens. By decanting the oil into unlabelled bottles, you are violating these requirements, which could result in non-compliance with safety standards. 2. Traceability: Proper labeling ensures that the product is traceable. In case a client has an adverse reaction, the product can be traced back to its origin. Without a label, traceability is compromised, which can pose a legal risk if issues arise. 3. Liability for Health and Safety: If a client experiences an allergic reaction or other health issues due to the use of the unlabelled product, you could be held liable. Without clear ingredient information, clients cannot make informed decisions about the product, potentially leading to harm. 4. Misbranding: Even if you are not selling the smaller bottles, distributing them without proper labeling may still be considered misbranding under consumer protection laws. This could lead to penalties or legal action from regulatory authorities. 5. Business Reputation and Trust: Giving away unlabelled products could harm your reputation. Clients may not trust a product that doesn't come with clear labeling, and it may raise questions about the professionalism and safety standards of your business.
