The European cosmetics market offers great opportunities, but compliance with regulations can be demanding. With Sobel’s expertise in EU compliance cosmetics, your products move faster to market, without unnecessary risks or delays.
Seeking expert support to comply with EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009.
Looking for regulatory guidance, Responsible Person services, and EU market access.
Needing compliant documentation, labeling, and CPNP notification for cosmetics.
Requiring technical support for PIF preparation, safety assessments, and ongoing compliance updates.
The European framework for cosmetics introduces clear obligations for market access, covering product notification, safety reports, labeling rules, and the designation of a Responsible Person within the EU. These steps are essential to ensure consumer safety and maintain regulatory compliance.
To comply effectively, businesses frequently seek clarity on these key points:
The EU Cosmetics Regulation sets the framework for placing cosmetic products on the European market. It covers key requirements such as safety assessments, labeling, and product notification through the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). For businesses, adapting to these rules is essential to ensure EU compliance cosmetics.
Every cosmetic placed on the EU market must have a PIF, containing detailed data on product safety, manufacturing, claims, and labeling. This file must be kept available for authorities at the address of the designated Responsible Person. Sobel supports companies in compiling and maintaining a compliant PIF.
Under EU law, every cosmetic product must have a Responsible Person established within the European Union. For companies outside the EU, appointing an RP is mandatory before placing products on the market — without it, cosmetics cannot be legally sold. Sobel offers Responsible Person services, acting as your trusted partner in Europe to ensure continuous compliance and regulatory representation.
The CPSR is a scientific document that evaluates the safety of a cosmetic product’s formulation. It includes toxicological data on ingredients, exposure assessments, and professional evaluation by a qualified safety assessor. Without a CPSR, a cosmetic product cannot be legally placed on the EU market. Sobel’s team prepares CPSRs in line with EU requirements, ensuring your products meet safety standards for market entry.
With Sobel, your brand gains complete regulatory support — from PIF and CPSR preparation to labeling, CPNP notification, and Responsible Person services — ensuring full compliance across the European Union.
