cosmetics regulation
Navigating cosmetics regulation requires precision, expertise and a trusted partner. That’s why you should work with Toxi Plan.
Constant changes
Cosmetic regulations evolve every few months, requiring from manufacturer continuous updates and vigilance.
Waste of time
Regulatory tasks can absorb more than half of your product development time.
Launch delays
A single compliance issue can delay your product launch by several weeks, which can damage your reputation.
Problem for cosmetics manufacturers
Bringing a cosmetic product to the market is increasingly complex.
You face constant pressure to stay compliant, justify raw material and ingredient safety, manage formula updates, and keep up with evolving EU and international regulations. Each mistake can lead to delays, reformulation, or costly audits — slowing down your launch timeline and putting your brand reputation at risk.

“RESPONSIBLE PERSON“ (RP)
An RP is a legal or natural person based in the EU, like Toxi Plan toxicologists, who will act as your regulatory compliance representative before your product can be placed on the shelves so it could be accessible by consumers with safety.
PRE-EVALUATION IN COSMETICS REGULATION
This step allows you to evaluate your formula’s compliance, identify required testing and assess technical documentation.
COSMETICS REGULATION : PRODUCT SAFETY REPORT (CPSR)
The CPSR is a two-part report that confirms your product is safe. Part A: provides cosmetic product safety information and Part B: confirms safety assessments were completed and in compliance.
PRODUCT INFORMATION FILE (PIF)
Confirms the quality, safety and efficacy of your product. Includes product description, the CSPR, GMP-compliant manufacturing methods, technical data supporting all claims & animal testing data. (Must be updated on a regular basis).
LABELS AND CLAIMS VERIFICATION
A label and claims review ensures your packaging’s regulatory compliance. An important step before investing in marketing and design of your product.
COSMETIC PRODUCT NOTIFICATION (CPNP)
Once steps 2-5 are complete, your RP must submit your product file through the EU’s Cosmetic Products Notification Portal for registration.

Cosmetic Fragrances
Cosmetic fragrances are far more than just a sensory ingredient. They play a key role as a strategic regulatory component, because their composition can include CMR substances or allergens that pose potential risks.
Properly managing evolving classifications is essential to ensure product safety, maintain consumer trust, and comply with European regulations.
Understanding these regulatory requirements not only helps manufacturers make informed choices, minimize risks, but also help deliver high-quality and safe cosmetic products.

Sunscreens...
Sunscreens are high-demand cosmetic products, as they combine sun protection with user safety. Their effectiveness depends on the choice of UV filters, emollients, stabilizers, and thickening agents, which require rigorous evaluation. Strict compliance with regulations ensures product safety and the reliability of marketing claims.
...and their impact on human health and nature
Additionally, some ingredients can dissolve in water during swimming, so they may impact both human health and marine microorganisms.
Careful selection and concentration of these components are therefore essential to protect users and minimize environmental impact.
Cosmetic raw materials, or ingredients, directly influence the quality and compliance of finished products.
Each ingredient must be evaluated carefully, due to its impact on the final product and consumer safety.
Common ingredients include vegetable oils, butters, moisturizing actives, UV filters, and surfactants.
Managing their regulatory status and safety helps anticipate risks. Il also prevent non-compliance, and ensure reliable formulations in accordance with cosmetics regulation.
