Knowing that a cosmetic regulation has changed is not the same as knowing whether your products are affected.
Someone still has to:
Our EU & UK Cosmetic Formula Compliance Monitoring does it all for you.
Taobé starts with an initial compliance assessment of the cosmetic formulas you want to monitor.
We then monitor relevant EU and UK regulatory changes against those formulas and contact you when a covered product may be affected.
The initial assessment is based on the INCI names and exact concentrations you provide using our excel template. Because this assessment relies on the information provided, it does not assess all substances or impurities that may be present in the raw materials.
For more comprehensive monitoring, we strongly recommend a full formula compliance assessment based on trade-name compositions and complete raw material documentation. This provides a more detailed assessment of the substances and impurities your products may contain.
Most cosmetics regulatory watch services send you everything and leave the hard part, the impact assessment, to you. Taobé does the opposite.
We monitor relevant regulatory developments and assess their impact on the formulas in your portfolio. You hear nothing until one of your products may be affected. When it is, you receive a single, personalised alert that you can act on straight away, even without a regulatory specialist on your team.
The earlier you are aware of a new restriction, the sooner you can plan any necessary reformulation. If you become aware of a change too late, you might face withdrawn stock, blocked shipments and stressful negotiations with your importers and distributors.
Subscribing to our EU & UK Cosmetic Formula Compliance Monitoring service gives you more time to respond to regulatory changes that may affect your products.

The subscription begins after an initial compliance assessment of the relevant formula version. This assessment is charged separately if you have not previously worked with Taobé.
The subscription covers:
If an alert calls for further action, Taobé will scope and quote the work separately before anything begins. This may include:
Cosmetics regulatory watch is separate from the Responsible Person service, where monitoring is already included. RP services are not included unless separately subscribed.
This service is for cosmetic brands that remain their own Responsible Person or use another RP but do not want to manage a regulatory watch function in-house.
It can be particularly valuable for:
Taobé is a boutique EU/UK cosmetics regulatory consultancy, established in 2017, with qualified safety assessors and a physical UK office for Responsible Person work.
Our cosmetics regulatory watch service is handled by experienced people who get to know your portfolio, rather than software you have to operate yourself.
So alerts are focused on regulatory changes that are pertinent to your products.
With alerts that explain the actions to take, even if you do not have an in-house regulatory specialist.
With the service performed by a senior partner who knows your portfolio.
To help you keep track of regulatory changes in the markets where you sell your products.
No. A newsletter tells you a rule changed; we tell you whether your specific formulas are affected and what to do. You only hear from us when action may be needed.
Yes. Since Brexit the two frameworks have evolved independently; the combined service covers relevant developments in both EU and UK markets.
No. Monitoring works from a known formula version, so a baseline assessment is needed before a formula joins the service. You will be asked to fill in your INCI composition in an excel template which will serve as the basis for the monitoring.
Yes. For products where Taobé is the appointed RP, monitoring is already part of the RP service. This subscription is for brands acting as their own RP.
You get one personalised alert with the change, the deadline, the affected products and the recommended actions, plus a separate quote if you want Taobé to carry them out.
