Your watch

What you are watching The French rules on packaging for cosmetics sold online. Specifically : what must appear on the label, what must appear on the product page, and what the two do not have to share.

Why it matters to you You sell 40 references. A labelling change means a print run, a photo shoot and 40 page updates. You want six weeks of warning, not six days.

Where to look

What counts as a change A published text, or an official reading that changes what must appear. Not : a press article, a competitor doing something new, a LinkedIn post from a lawyer.

What does not count Everything upstream of publication. Drafts, consultations and rumours are noise for you : you cannot reprint 40 labels on a rumour.
