New Dossier Classification Cannabidiol (CBD) submitted to ECHA

Cannabidiol (CBD) is used as an ingredient and active substance in cosmetic products. In contrast to Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD is not a psychoactive substance and does not fall under the Narcotics Act.

In February 2025, a CLH dossier was submitted by France to the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). It proposes to classify CBD as a reproductive toxin category 1B and harmful to infants through breast milk. The dossier is currently in public consultation and can be commented on until mid-May.

Whether and in what form a classification occurs is ultimately decided by the ECHA or the European Commission. Such regulatory processes can typically take several years.

The dossier is publicly accessible via the ECHA website.

We are happy to advise you comprehensively on all regulatory issues related to cosmetic products and their ingredients.
