Many cosmetic products from the internet not marketable

As reported by Spiegel in its current issue, many of the cosmetics available in online retail have significant defects. In a sample of a total of 24 products sold through the Amazon Marketplace platform, a total of 93 individual violations of the EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 applicable to all products were identified. Only two of the 24 items could be assessed as fully marketable.

The most common complaints were due to:

- Contaminations with pathogenic germs

- Undeclared allergens contained

- Preservatives exceeding the legally permissible maximum amount

- Declared valuable ingredients that were not detectable in the product
