How we classify

The final classification depends on the formula, the claims and the intended audience

The classifications above follow the indicative lists in Annex I of RDC 907/2024, as amended by RDC 949/2024. The same type of product can change grade depending on the claim on the label: a regular moisturizer is Grade 1; the same product indicated for sensitive skin or for pregnant women becomes Grade 2.

Each SKU is individually classified by our Technical Officer before notification or registration.
