Additional Information

  • Norway has national requirements when it comes to language. It shall be in Norwegian.
  • With the implementation of the new EU regulatory framework for cosmetics, Norway can no longer uphold its longstanding restrictions on the use of certain substances in cosmetics that were previously permitted in the EU. These substances, many of which serve as active ingredients in pharmaceuticals, may pose adverse side effects.
  • The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has evaluated the safety of numerous substances previously subject to restrictions. Without these restrictions, the use of these substances may pose risks associated with adverse effects, including cancer, organ damage, fetal malformation, and skin irritation and sensitization.
