COSMETIC PRODUCT SAFETY REPORT (CPSR) AND PIF CREATION

A thorough toxicological evaluation on raw materials is key if your company has ambition to sell raw materials to European manufacturers, as the raw materials must meet certain requirements to guarantee their safe use in cosmetic products. By making this evaluation available, you increase the sales possibilities all over Europe. This is also a key step to be able to approach the big players (L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, etc.) who will consider you as a serious partners as you will show a non-negotiable approach to quality and ensure the highest level of effectiveness and safety to end-customers. Taobé’s safety assessors will be able to develop a Dossier including: -A full toxicological assessment report of the raw material, according to the SCCS Notes of Guidance, demonstrating the safety of the cosmetic ingredient/s according to the utmost authority in Europe. -A CLP SDS, to provide to importers for REACH notification.

Acquire a sustainability certification to verify the low impact of your products on the environment. Environmental protection has become a crucial subject that all industries must take into account in order to reduce their impact on the climate and the environment. Among these industries, the cosmetics sector has not yet regulated the environmental safety of cosmetic products apart from the ingredients covered by REACH. However, consumers are increasingly demanding and are looking for: -Products without risk to human health. -Animal-Friendly products. -Products using natural or natural origin ingredients. -Environmentally friendly products.

The very first step of every cosmetics registration in Europe starts with the full assessment of the formula of the product to confirm it meets the EU requirements. During this step, our Safety Assessors will: - Check all documents related to the ingredient (MSDS/COA/Non-animal testing/IFRA, etc.). - Verify that the ingredients do not have restrictions established by European regulations and that the limits of use (if there are any) are in compliance. - Check that the ingredients used are suitable for cosmetics (cosmetic grade ingredients). - Check the toxicological profile of each ingredient. - Verify if the ingredient contains any impurity. - Check the SCCS opinions, industry guidelines and other regulations (REACH, CLP). - Calculate the MoS (Margin of Safety) for each ingredient and/or search for supporting documents (reliable literature) that declare each ingredient safe at the added dose in the finished product.

All cosmetic products must display the following mandatory information on both the container (inner label) and packaging (outer label): - Name and address of the Responsible Person - Nominal content - Date of minimum duration or PAO - Country of origin (if the product is imported into the community) - Product function (unless it’s clear from its presentation) However, there are exceptions for the following three items, which we will discuss in detail later in this article. - Warnings - Batch number - INCI list Please keep in mind that the items mentioned above are specified in EU Regulation 1223/2009, which outlines the requirements for cosmetics. However, it’s important to understand that various laws govern product labelling, such as the Packaging & Waste regulations, which can vary from country to country. We encourage you to explore our article on Labelling and Packaging Regulations for more information, including details about recycling symbols.
