Science, Innovation and Technology Committee: The science and regulation of hair and beauty products and treatments

Committee hears from witnesses

The Science, Innovation and Technology Committee will hear oral evidence on how hair and beauty products and treatments are regulated, and the science underlying them. The inquiry examines whether current regulatory frameworks—which span multiple agencies and rules—adequately protect consumers while allowing innovation in a sector worth billions to the UK economy.

This affects every consumer who uses cosmetics, hair dyes, skincare, or beauty treatments, as well as the hair and beauty industry itself. The outcome could reshape how products are tested, labelled, and approved, potentially closing gaps in consumer protection or removing barriers to innovation and growth.
