What happens if you don't have it
In 2024, the Catalan government ordered cosmetics from the Sana brand withdrawn from the market because they weren't shown as notified in the CPNP, the mandatory EU portal for any cosmetic before it's sold. Royal Decree 85/2018 regulates these obligations in Spain, under AEMPS oversight.
