FAQ

The time needed to register a product depends on 2 things:

–        How fast you can provide us with the documents we need to be able to work (please see the list in the handout you can download from the home page)

–        If the results of the mandatory tests (stability/compatibility test and challenge test) are already available or not.

If  the stability test has not been performed yet, then, the registration process will take more than 3 months. If all documents are ready, then, the process can be finished in less than a month.

We divide the process into 5 steps:

1-   Formula Check – toxicological analysis of the ingredients

During this step, our Safety Assessors carefully check the toxicological profile of each ingredient, go through the related documents, check the impurities, etc. in order to certify if the formula complies with the EU/UK Regulation or not. Once the formula complies with the EU/UK Regulation, it complies with the regulation of at least 47 countries in the world.

2-   CPSR – Safety Assessment of the product

During this step, our Safety Assessors create the Cosmetic Product Safety Report, in which the cosmetic product is assessed completely through different steps detailed below:

a) Quantitative and qualitative composition

b) Physical and chemical properties and stability

c) Storage conditions

d) Microbiological quality

e) Impurities, traces and information about the packaging material

f) Normal and reasonably foreseeable use

g) Cosmetic product exposure

h) Substance exposure

i) Substance toxicity profiles

j) Undesirable effects and serious undesirable effects – cosmetovigilance information

k) Assessment conclusion

l) Packaging warnings and instructions for use

m) Reasoning

n) Evaluator credentials

During this step, we advise on all elements that should appear on the labels and we carefully advise on the use of the claims and how to sustain them.

3- Label & Claims Check
