Spring is vigorously committed to limiting the use of controversial materials in cosmetic products, at a time when regulations are being tightened to better protect consumers.
Endocrine disruptors (EDs) represent a major public health issue, with recognized harmful effects on human health. Spring, a French brand, is committed to combating these substances in collaboration with other players in the sector. «Clean beauty», an often-used expression, reflects their aspiration for risk-free cosmetic formulas.
An evolving regulatory framework
The European Union is stepping up its restrictions on certain controversial ingredients. The ban on TPO in semi-permanent varnishes from September 2025 represents a significant milestone. However, Spring co-founder Laure Favre points out: « Regulations are moving in the right direction, but aberrations persist in different sectors. » Clear on this point, she advocates more fluid developments between different industries, such as cosmetics and detergents.Increasingly vigilant consumers
Demand for «clean» products continues to grow, prompting companies to actively remove controversial ingredients. However, the cohabitation of these expectations with consumer preferences, such as foam or fragrance, remains delicate. Patricia Rannaud-Bartaire, endocrinologist and paediatrician, stresses the need for brands to reconcile expectations with regulatory developments and commercial challenges.
Against this backdrop of change, Spring's constant drive to promote safer alternatives seems to be paying off, both for consumers' health and for the environment. The brand's ambition goes beyond mere regulatory compliance to offer products that reassure without compromising on their efficacy.
