A new EU rule caps PFHxA at 25 ppb in cosmetics from 10 October 2026. It tests the finished product and never asks if the chemical was added on purpose.

Indonesia’s transition period for mandatory halal cosmetic certification ends October 17, 2026, with enforcement starting October 18 under Government Regulation No. 42 of 2024. The rule applies equally to local and foreign brands. Compliance requires factory changes—separating lines, tracking ingredients, and appointing a supervisor. However, foreign exporters face heavy administrative friction: brands must file through local importers.
