Our California Safe Cosmetics Review helps cosmetic brands assess ingredient compliance with the California Safe Cosmetics Act (SB-484). This law requires cosmetic manufacturers and brand owners to report products that contain ingredients identified as potentially hazardous under California regulations.
Pentyl Labs performs a structured ingredient review to determine whether cosmetic formulations trigger reporting obligations. As a result, brands can meet regulatory expectations while reducing the risk of enforcement actions, retailer concerns, or reputational damage.
The California Safe Cosmetics Act requires companies selling cosmetic products in California to disclose products containing specific reportable ingredients. The law is administered by the California Department of Public Health, which maintains a public database of reported cosmetic products.
Reporting is required when a cosmetic product contains an ingredient listed under California hazard frameworks, including carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity, or other health concerns. Therefore, accurate ingredient evaluation is essential.
Our review focuses on more than simple ingredient screening. Specifically, we provide:
Full ingredient list evaluation
Identification of reportable ingredients under SB-484
Cross-check against California hazard listings
Assessment of reporting thresholds and applicability
Clear summary of reporting obligations
Practical guidance on next compliance steps
In addition, we flag potential future risks if ingredient classifications change.
This service is recommended for:
Cosmetic brands selling products in California
Companies launching new cosmetic products
Businesses reformulating existing products
Private label and contract manufacturers
Brands responding to retailer or distributor requests
Because reporting obligations apply at the finished product level, even small formulation changes may impact compliance.
Pentyl Labs provides clear, defensible California Safe Cosmetics reviews that support confident regulatory decision-making. We routinely assist cosmetic brands with ingredient assessments, regulatory reporting, and broader U.S. compliance programs. Therefore, our guidance integrates smoothly with Proposition 65, labeling reviews, and national market strategies.
