A key market regulator for trade in the European Union has updated its guidelines to add plant-derived CBD as a legal ingredient in cosmetics.
The change comes after the European Industrial Hemp Association pointed out that the European Court of Justice recently ruled that CBD should not be classified as a drug and can be freely traded.
The classification change was made by the EU’s Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (small- and medium-sized enterprises). Previously, only synthetic CBD was listed in the agency’s database.
Regulators list plant-derived CBD as a skin protectant and conditioner and note its function as an anti-oxidant.
“These are the types of news that make my day,” EIHA’s managing director, Lorenza Romanese, said in a statement.
