A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) confirms that a cosmetic product is safe for use before it is placed on the EU or UK market. This report evaluates the full ingredient composition, product use, and consumer exposure. As a result, the CPSR supports regulatory compliance and helps protect consumers.
At Pentyl Labs, qualified safety assessors prepare CPSRs in line with Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 and applicable UK cosmetic regulations. We follow the required structure and provide clear conclusions suitable for regulatory review.
A CPSR includes two required sections: Part A and Part B. Together, these sections document safety information and provide a final safety conclusion.
Part A compiles technical data, while Part B delivers the safety assessment. Specifically, the report addresses:
Full qualitative and quantitative ingredient composition
Toxicological profiles for cosmetic ingredients
Exposure assessment based on product type and use
Margin of safety calculations
Review of impurities, contaminants, and packaging interactions
Clear safety conclusions and conditions of use
By evaluating both normal use and reasonably foreseeable misuse, the CPSR provides a complete safety picture.
A CPSR is required before placing a cosmetic product on the EU or UK market. Therefore, brands typically request this assessment:
Before a new product launch
After formulation or ingredient changes
When entering the EU or UK market
During audits or retailer compliance reviews
In addition, manufacturers should update the report whenever product details change to maintain compliance.
In the European Union, cosmetic safety requirements are defined under Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. In the United Kingdom, similar requirements apply under retained EU law and UK-specific guidance. Because authorities expect manufacturers to maintain a complete Product Information File (PIF), the CPSR remains a core document.
For official guidance, manufacturers often consult European Commission cosmetic safety resources.
At Pentyl Labs, we deliver clear, regulator-ready CPSRs with practical explanations and documented conclusions. We work closely with clients to address formulation questions and documentation needs.
Ultimately, our goal is to help brands meet EU and UK safety requirements with confidence. Many clients also combine CPSR services with preservative efficacy testing, stability studies, or label review to build a complete compliance package.
