Inquiry - UV Safety (2025-2026)

The APPG for Beauty and Wellbeing is issuing a Call for Evidence in a new inquiry reviewing UV safety in the UK.

The APPG invites written evidence from the public, organisations, industry bodies and academics, on the below terms of reference by 31st October 2025.

Please submit responses to the call for evidence to beautyappg@britishbeautycouncil.com. Each submission should be in Word format and include a contact name, organisation name, and contact email address.

Where possible, please keep submissions to no more than two pages, and there is no requirement to answer all the call for evidence questions.

Submissions will be made public on the conclusions of the inquiry and publication of the Group’s report. Please note in your response if you wish any information to remain confidential.

The Group will be holding oral evidence sessions throughout the course of the inquiry. If you would like to put yourself forward as a witness, please email your request to beautyappg@britishbeautycouncil.com.

The APPG launched an important year-long inquiry into aesthetic non-surgical cosmetic treatments to investigate how standards for undertaking and advertising treatments such as botulinum toxins or similar anti-wrinkle injectables, dermal fillers, polydioxanone (PDO) threads and cogs, should be improved to support the beauty and aesthetics industry and protect public safety.

The Group ran a 6-week call for written evidence in June 2020 and invited witnesses to give oral evidence in its inquiry.

On Wednesday 21st June, the APPG published its concluding report and recommendations for Government.
