Productos borderline.

En la práctica, a veces puede ser confuso saber si un producto es cosmético en el marco de la Cosmetics Directive o si cae en la legislación particular de otro tipo de producto. Esta decisión se toma caso por caso.

Sin embargo, la European Commission ha publicado una serie de documentos de orientación para facilitar la aplicación de la legislación en estos casos. Estos incluyen un "manual" sobre la aplicación del art. 1, es decir, la definición de "producto cosmético" y diversas  legislaciones de productos borderline.
