Safety Assessment
Consumers and regulatory authorities demand evidence that your cosmetics and personal care items are safe.
Before launching a new product, it must undergo a safety assessment – Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) in the EU and Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA) in the US, Canada, Australia & ASEAN countries.
Our experienced safety assessors look at:
- Formulation – ensure a product does not pose a risk to consumers under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions
- Ingredients – look for possible negative interactions within the formulation
- Potential hazards of individual ingredients
- Usage – how consumers will probably use the product (e.g. how often, etc.)
Documentation Review
Make sure your product’s labeling is clear and complies with the demands of consumers and regulatory bodies.
Our documentation review service includes:
- Package labeling review – we review your ingredients’ list and packaging labels based on regulatory requirements. Includes specific market requirements relating to allergen labeling

- Document validation – ensure the documents you submit are accurate and complete. Our experts will ensure you have completed all necessary documents and can assist with claim authentication
