What is a CPSR

All products that are considered a cosmetic will require a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) to be completed for them. 

Products include all cosmetics, toiletries, creams, lotions, make-up, hair products, deodorants, fragrances, suncare products, shaving products, some teeth products.

A cosmetic product safety report is required for every product to be sold on the European market, as dictated by the EU 1223/2009 Cosmetic Law. It is a report on the safety and legality of a product. 

The report looks at many different important factors including:

Quantitative and qualitative composition Physical/chemical characteristics and stability Microbial quality Impurities, traces in the product and information on the packaging material Normal and foreseeable use Exposure to the product Exposure to the ingredients Toxicological profile of the ingredients Undesirable effects of the product Other Assessors Conclusion Legal ingredients listing You will need one report for each product that you sell, including each variation. Unfortunately the new legislation does not permit a report being compiled for multiple product variations, you will need one report for each variation.

Remember: You may need Stability and/or Preservative Efficacy Testing completed on your product.
