Dear Ms. 
,
Entry 306 of Annex II to the Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009 (https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?
qid=1493906428740&uri=CELEX:32009R1223) refers to "Narcotics, natural and synthetic: All substances listed in
Tables I and II of the single Convention on narcotic drugs signed in New York on 30 March 1961".
Schedules I and II of the Convention are lists of drugs. According to Art. 1 "definitions" of the convention, “Drug”
means any of the substances in Schedules I and II, whether natural or synthetic.
The list of drugs in Schedule I (Schedules as at 16 May 2018: http://undocs.org/ST/CND/1/Add.1/Rev.4) includes:
CANNABIS and CANNABIS RESIN and EXTRACTS and TINCTURES OF CANNABIS.
Article 1 of the convention defines these terms as follows:
(b) “Cannabis” means the flowering or fruiting tops of the cannabis plant (excluding the seeds and leaves when not
accompanied by the tops) from which the resin has not been extracted, by whatever name they may be designated.
(c) “Cannabis plant” means any plant of the genus Cannabis,
(d) “Cannabis resin” means the separated resin, whether crude or purified, obtained from the cannabis plant.
Pursuant to Article 28 (‘Control of cannabis’) of the 1961 Convention, the ‘Convention shall not apply to the
cultivation of the cannabis plant exclusively for industrial purposes (fibre and seed) or horticultural purposes’.
Based on the above, ingredients derived from cannabis to the extent that they fall within the scope of the 1961
Convention should be banned in cosmetic products based on entry 306 of Annex II of the Cosmetics Regulation. It is
up to the responsible person to provide the evidence and prove that their product is not falling within the scope of
the Convention.
In view of the above, “Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil” is NOT prohibited, whereas the ingredient “Cannabis Sativa
Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract” is prohibited under entry 306 of Annex II to the Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
All countries listed in your e-mail are member of the European Union. Thus, the Cosmetics Regulation applies in all
these countries.
Please note that the views expressed in this email are not legally binding; only the Court of Justice of the EU can give
an authoritative interpretation of Union law.
In addition, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the CosIng database is an inventory of cosmetic
substances and ingredients, employed for labelling cosmetic products throughout the EU. Please note that ingredient
assigned with an INCI name that appears in the inventory section of CosIng does not mean it is to be used in cosmetic
products nor approved for such use. We would kindly suggest to visit the CosIng database regularly, in order to follow
any developments on cannabis/hemp-related issues.
We hope you will find this information useful.
