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.

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.
