In the cosmetics industry, the rules have become stricter, and now GMP (ISO 22716) is no longer an option, but a mandatory requirement. In this article, we explain in simple terms what this system is, what it changes in production, and why it is virtually impossible to comply with the new Technical Regulations without it.

In Ukraine, the requirements for cosmetic products have been updated, and now manufacturers must comply with clear rules on quality and safety. One of the key requirements is the implementation of GMP (ISO 22716) – a system of good manufacturing practices that shows how to properly organize the production of cosmetics so that the product is safe and of high quality. In essence, this is no longer a “desirable standard”, but a mandatory condition for working on the market.
In practice, this means quality control at all stages of production, clearly defined processes, the manufacturer’s responsibility for product safety and readiness for inspections at any time. This is no longer about formal documents, but about the real organization of work at the enterprise.
To prepare for these requirements, VICONSULT helps businesses analyze production processes, check compliance with the Technical Regulations, prepare the necessary documentation and regulations, as well as provide advice on inspections and reduce legal risks.
The conclusion is simple: GMP is no longer an additional advantage, but a basic condition for legal work in the cosmetics industry. Without it, it is practically impossible to move forward. At the same time, the correct implementation of this system allows a business to remain legal, avoid fines and build consumer trust, and with the support of VICONSULT this process becomes much simpler and more controlled.
