Public Policy & Regulation attorney Rachel Gartner was featured in a Q&A for CosmeticsDesign about the challenges facing cosmetics and personal care product manufacturers in today's regulatory landscape. The article highlighted key insights from the IBA Cosmetics Convergence Fall Symposium 2024, which covered the increasing complexity of regulations and the growing need for transparency and innovation in the industry. Ms. Gartner emphasized the importance of consumer education and industry advocacy in shaping future rulemaking processes.
"Manufacturers, alongside the brands, should educate their consumers on the reality of manufacturing personal care products and advocate for themselves in forums that will impact the law-making process. Otherwise, we will see a regulatory framework that addresses consumer concern but doesn't account for the reality of manufacturing in the personal care products industry," she said.
