Manufacturers advertise online with smooth, elastic skin, scientifically proven effects and &#8220;visible results&#8221;. But at what point does a beauty promise become a health claim &#8211; and therefore a prohibited statement under European law?  <\/p>\n\n<p>A manufacturer advertised drinking ampoules with collagen peptides online. Among other things, the texts referred to skin structure, transport of peptides &#8220;into the skin layers&#8221; and &#8220;significant improvements&#8221; in skin parameters in placebo-controlled studies. A qualified trade association sued for injunctive relief due to inadmissible health claims under the Health Claims Regulation. The case ended up before the Federal Court of Justice.     <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hintergrund-der-rechtliche-rahmen\"><strong>Background: The legal framework<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The European Health Claims Regulation stipulates that any statement about a link between a food and health is a health claim &#8211; and is only permitted if it has been approved by the EU and included in a corresponding list.<\/p>\n\n<p>On the other hand, so-called beauty claims are permitted, i.e. advertising claims that only refer to the external appearance, such as &#8220;for beautiful skin&#8221; or &#8220;for a fresh appearance&#8221;. The decisive factor is the context: if a bodily function or a biological mechanism is addressed, a beauty claim becomes a health claim &#8211; with far-reaching consequences for advertising practice. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bgh-verbietet-einige-aussagen\">Federal Court of Justice prohibits some statements<\/h2>\n\n<p>The Federal Court of Justice (<a href=\"https:\/\/juris.bundesgerichtshof.de\/cgi-bin\/rechtsprechung\/document.py?Gericht=bgh&amp;Art=en&amp;Datum=Aktuell&amp;Sort=3&amp;nr=143172&amp;anz=1097&amp;pos=13\">Judgment of 09.10.2025 &#8211; Ref. I ZR 135\/24 <\/a>) partially overturned an OLG ruling and made a new decision. The Federal Court of Justice banned three statements as health claims; three others, however, remain permissible. The Senate emphasized that whether a statement is understood to be health-related must be assessed in the context of the specific advertising from the perspective of the average consumer.    <\/p>\n\n<p>Text passages that went beyond pure beauty effects were banned &#8211; especially if they referred to biological processes in the skin or a demonstrable improvement in skin functions. For example, the statement that the peptides were &#8220;transported into the skin layers and made available to the collagen metabolism&#8221; was assessed as a health claim. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group v4-pattern-general-quote-box has-kpw-blue-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60)\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--70)\">\n<p>Statements on collagen peptides are not excluded from the scope [&#8230;] of the Health Claims Regulation from the outset; rather, they must be examined on a case-by-case basis insofar as they may give the average consumer the impression that they influence bodily functions.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n<p>The court thus made it clear that it is sufficient if a statement is suitable for arousing a functional health reference in the consumer &#8211; an actual scientific effect or verifiability is initially irrelevant for the advertising ban.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-warum-manche-aussagen-erlaubt-blieben\">Why some statements remained allowed<\/h2>\n\n<p>However, passages that could be understood purely aesthetically in their advertising context remained permitted. Phrases such as &#8220;for beautiful skin from the inside&#8221; or &#8220;beauty effects with a scientific background&#8221; did not violate the regulation as long as they did not address any functional mechanisms of the body. <\/p>\n\n<p>The Federal Court of Justice emphasized that the assessment always depends on the overall context &#8211; i.e. headlines, imagery, product environment and the direction of the text. Individual words must not be assessed in isolation, but rather in conjunction with the overall design. <\/p>\n\n<p>With this &#8220;context formula&#8221;, the Senate also corrected the previous practice of some courts, which classified any mention of &#8220;skin elasticity&#8221; or &#8220;moisture&#8221; as a health claim.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-kernbotschaft-kein-mechanismus-keine-probleme\">Key message: No mechanism, no problems<\/h2>\n\n<p>The decisive factor is therefore how deeply an advertising claim &#8220;affects&#8221; the body. As soon as the text suggests that the substance changes something in the body &#8211; be it the &#8220;collagen metabolism&#8221;, the &#8220;transport into deeper skin layers&#8221; or &#8220;significant improvements&#8221; in skin parameters &#8211; it is a health claim. <\/p>\n\n<p>Such claims are currently <strong>not permitted<\/strong> for collagen, even if there are corresponding permitted claims for other substances such as vitamin C, biotin or zinc (&#8220;contributes to the maintenance of normal skin&#8221;). Anyone using similar formulations for collagen is therefore running a legal risk. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-was-hersteller-jetzt-beachten-mussen\">What manufacturers need to consider now<\/h2>\n\n<p>For manufacturers of dietary supplements, beauty drinks and functional foods, the Federal Court of Justice&#8217;s decision means one thing above all: <strong>text, context and tone of voice count.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-arrow\">\n<li><strong>Do not mention mechanisms:<\/strong> Avoid terms such as &#8220;transportation&#8221;, &#8220;metabolism&#8221; or &#8220;cell assembly&#8221;. These terms are triggers for health claims assessments. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check the context:<\/strong> Even an admissible sentence can become inadmissible in the wrong context &#8211; for example, if medical-looking graphics or &#8220;scientific studies&#8221; appear next to it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep beauty claims clean:<\/strong> Formulations such as &#8220;for smooth skin&#8221; or &#8220;supports natural beauty&#8221; are permissible as long as no functional promise is included.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Studies with caution:<\/strong> References to &#8220;clinical studies&#8221; can also be problematic if they give the impression of scientific evidence of efficacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>Overall, the ruling creates more clarity. In future, companies will have to carefully consider how scientifically they can advertise beauty products without making inadmissible health claims. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fazit\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns v4-pattern-text-copy-half-col is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The Federal Court of Justice has drawn the line between cosmetic promises and health-related effects more sharply than before.
