Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)

Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR): The Guide

June 2024: When you apply your favorite skincare product or cosmetic, have you ever thought about the rigorous safety checks it went through before reaching your hands? In the world of cosmetics, safety is paramount, and this is where the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) comes into play. Whether you’re a cosmetics brand owner or a consumer, understanding the CPSR is key to navigating the complex landscape of cosmetic regulations and ensuring product safety.

At Biorius, we specialize in guiding cosmetic brands through the intricacies of compliance, ensuring their products meet all the necessary legal and safety standards. But what exactly is a Cosmetic Product Safety Report, and why is it essential?

What Is a Cosmetic Product Safety Report?

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report is a comprehensive document required by EU law before any cosmetic product can be marketed within the EU. It ensures that every cosmetic product placed on the market is safe for human health under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. This report is part of the EU Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, a crucial regulatory framework that governs the entire cosmetic industry within the European Union.

The CPSR is divided into two key parts:

  1. Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information
    This section gathers all the necessary data about the ingredients, their toxicological profile, and the finished product’s stability, manufacturing process, and microbiological quality. It’s a detailed collection of facts and figures that ensures every ingredient is thoroughly examined.

  2. Part B: Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment
    This part takes the information from Part A and evaluates the safety of the product. A qualified safety assessor—someone with a background in toxicology, medicine, or a similar field—analyzes the data and concludes whether the product is safe for use.

Why Is the CPSR So Important?

The safety of consumers should never be compromised, especially when it comes to products applied directly to the skin. The CPSR acts as a safeguard, providing scientific evidence that a product won’t cause harm under normal conditions. Without this crucial document, cosmetic brands cannot legally market their products in the EU.

For cosmetic companies, the CPSR is not just a regulatory requirement—it’s an assurance that they are delivering safe, high-quality products to their customers. For consumers, it offers peace of mind, knowing that the products they use daily have been rigorously assessed for safety.

Who Needs a CPSR?

Any cosmetic product, from a luxurious face cream to an everyday shampoo, must have a Cosmetic Product Safety Report before it can be sold in the European Union. Whether you’re an established cosmetics company or a new brand entering the market, you must have this report for every product you want to sell in the EU.
