Question juridique clé
Whether the shampoo claim 'suitable for persons with particularly sensitive skin, e.g. mild atopy or neurodermitis' is an unlawful heilanpreisung for cosmetics.
Solution extraite
The reference to sensitive skin is allowed, but the reference to atopy and neurodermitis is an impermissible disease-related claim.
Motifs extraits
Neurodermitis is a skin disease and atopy is a medical condition; in the advertising context the average consumer links such terms, especially together with 'Dr. Kurt Wolff-Forschung', to healing or relieving effects. Cosmetics must remain clearly distinct from medicines.
