UK cosmetics compliance
What we do not say.
- • Avoid medical claims (‘treats’, ‘cures’, ‘repairs’).
- • Avoid permanent-result claims (‘erases’, ‘eliminates for good’).
- • Avoid Botox-equivalence claims (‘the new Botox’, ‘Botox in a patch’).
- • Avoid guaranteed outcomes (‘will work’, ‘guaranteed results’).
- • Avoid unsupported numerical claims without cited evidence.
- • This workflow is an internal governance tool, not legal advice.
