Cosmetics production - Import export

The CPSR consists of two parts, A and B: in Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation, all the information that must be collected and processed by the Safety Evaluator in order to identify and quantify the dangers that the cosmetic product may present for the human health, namely: PART A contains information on the safety of the cosmetic product, such as: 1. Quantitative and qualitative composition of cosmetic products; 2. Physical/chemical characteristics and stability of the cosmetic product; 3. Microbiological quality; 4. Impurities, traces, information on packaging material; 5. Normal and reasonably foreseeable use; 6. Exposure to the cosmetic product; 7. Exposure to substances and calculation of the MoS; 8. Toxicological profile of substances; 9. Undesirable effects and serious undesirable effects; 10. Information about the cosmetic product. PART B holds the conclusion, the warnings and instructions of use to label, the scientific reasoning and the assessor's diploma.

Before a cosmetic can be sold in Europe (31 countries) or in the UK, it needs to be notified on the Cosmetic Product Notification Portal if the product is intended to be sold in Europe and on the Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications if the target market is Great Britain. After the notification, the product will receive a unique number that will allow customs and authorities to identify it clearly. It is usually the Responsible Person who notifies the product on its own CPNP or SCPN Account.
