If you create a cosmetic product to sell within the United Kingdom or the EU, you will need a safety assessment, product information file, and product notification on the corresponding portal.

This is a document signed by a safety assessor with official qualifications to confirm that your product is within the safety limits established by the United Kingdom or the EU.

Don't worry, we will advise you to guide you:

• which stability tests your formula needs
• if it requires a challenge test or a preservative efficacy study

And we will recommend any other tests that we consider pertinent. 

It depends on your cosmetic product: form, formulation, etc. For example, water-based cosmetic products need to show a good preservative system through a challenge test or a preservative efficacy study conducted in a laboratory.

Our goal is to take less than 10 business days. 

If there are questions or issues with the submitted documentation, this can increase the time, so make sure to send us all the requested information.

The cosmetic product information files and their safety assessments are carried out in accordance with European law 1223/2009. Therefore, they remain valid until the regulation changes, but any change in the formulation or manufacturing process invalidates them.

All changes require a new order called "update of my information file and safety assessment." 

Yes, the notification to the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP) is part of the Cosmetic Product Safety Report.
