Safety assessor - Import export

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.

The “Responsible Person” is a vital figure in the beauty and cosmetics sector, acting as the primary contact for ensuring cosmetic goods are in line with the rigorous safety and regulatory standards established by the EU frameworks. Only cosmetic products for which a natural or legal person has been designated as a ‘responsible person’ shall be placed on the market. The obligations of the Reponsible Person are: •to ensure that the Safety Assessment of the cosmetic has been carried out by a Safety Assessor, •to maintain specific information on the product it places on the market and make sure it remains up to date. •to handle the inspections carried out by the authorities; •to perform regulatory watch to make sure the PIF remains compliant throughout its lifetime on the market Trust professionals to handle this crucial role with care and give you peace of mind.

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.
