At many Christmas markets, cosmetic products and soaps are popular offerings, as they make great gifts and have a personal touch.

Especially handmade or natural products are in demand. Soaps in various shapes, colors, and scents, as well as skincare products like lip balms or hand creams, are widespread at the markets.

When selling such products, safety is an important aspect. All cosmetic products must comply with the EU regulations for cosmetics, which include:

• Compliance with the legal requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009
• A list of ingredients (INCI list)
• including the declaration of possible allergenic fragrance substances
• Pre-testing for possible critical ingredients (such as pesticide residues when using plant-based components)
• Adequate microbiological quality and exclusion of pathogenic germs, especially in liquid products

We support you in the safe sale of your products at Christmas markets, whether solid soap, shower gel, or hand cream.
