Ingredients - Import export

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.

Having an International Nomenclature Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) name for each ingredient is absolutely mandatory for every personal care product, allowing customers to identify the product’s content before making the purchase. However, it can happen that you are using an ingredient that is so unique, rare or sourced in remote places that it does not have an International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients name yet. In that case, to be able to use it in a product in Europe or the UK, it will need to be registered via the Personal Care Products Council. By going through the application process with PCPC, an ingredient will receive a unique INCI name systematically generated and internationally identified. Let our experts guide you through this process and optimise your chances for the new INCI name to be approved.
