What is a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) in the UK and EU?

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a mandatory document required for all cosmetic products placed on the UK and EU markets. It ensures that a product is safe for human use under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions.

Why is a CPSR Required?

Under UK and EU Cosmetics Regulations, every cosmetic product must undergo a safety assessment before it can be placed on the market. The CPSR forms a critical part of this requirement and must be completed by a qualified safety assessor.

Without a CPSR:

• Your product cannot be legally marketed

• You may face regulatory action, including product withdrawal

What Does a CPSR Include?

A CPSR is divided into two main parts:

Part A – Safety Information
This section includes:

• Quantitative and qualitative composition

• Physical and chemical characteristics

• Microbiological quality

• Impurities and packaging material

• Normal and reasonably foreseeable use

• Exposure to the product

• Toxicological profile of ingredients

• Undesirable effects

Part B – Safety Assessment
This section contains:

• Scientific evaluation of the product

• Margin of Safety (MoS) calculation

• Assessor’s conclusion on product safety

• Warnings and conditions of use

Who Can Write a CPSR?

A CPSR must be completed by a qualified toxicologist or safety assessor with relevant expertise in:

• Toxicology

• Chemistry

• Risk assessment

How Long Does It Take?

The timeline depends on several factors, including:

• Formula complexity

• Availability of ingredient data

• Type of product

Typically, a CPSR can be completed within a few days to a couple of weeks.

Why Choose a Professional Safety Assessor?

Working with an experienced assessor ensures:

• Full compliance with UK and EU regulations

• Accurate and robust toxicological evaluation

• Efficient approval and faster market access
