Regulation of Cosmetic Products in the European Union

The EU has enacted numerous laws over the years to better protect consumers, animals and the environment. Every cosmetic product available on the European market, whether free or paid, must comply with an extensive list of legal requirements.

Alongside the United States, Europe is one of the largest cosmetics markets in the world, worth €80 billion in retail sales by 2023 and home to over 500 million potential consumers. However, ensuring that your cosmetic product complies with EU cosmetics regulation and other European or national regulatory frameworks can be a complicated and time-consuming process.

Verification

  • We verify ingredients, labels and technical information of products. We ensure regulatory compliance to provide quality and confidence in every product that reaches the consumer.

CPNP

  • We manage the notification of cosmetics in the EU CPNP. This step is key to ensure that each product complies with European regulations and can be marketed without problems.

PIF and CPSR

  • We elaborate and maintain the Product Information File (PIF). This document is essential to demonstrate that each product meets safety and quality criteria.

Follow-up

  • We carry out annual cosmetovigilance and serious adverse effect checks. This service ensures that products are safe and effective throughout their shelf life.

Responsible
Person

  • As the responsible person, we conduct the Product Impact Assessment (PIA). This comprehensive report is essential to assess the impact and feasibility of each proposed project.

Revision

  • We carry out specialized reviews of nanomaterials and CMR substances. This verification ensures that products are free of hazardous materials and comply with strict standards.
