How to Make Your Cosmetic Product Ready for UK and EU Markets

We also work with businesses that are developing their first cosmetic range as well as established brands preparing to expand.

For brands that need an assessment based on their own formulation, our bespoke assessment service provides support based on the specific product information available. We also offer pre assessed formulations for businesses looking for an alternative route when suitable products are available.

Our approach focuses on understanding the product, reviewing the available information, identifying potential compliance issues, and helping brands understand what needs to be completed before market entry.

This can make the process easier to manage, particularly for founders who are dealing with cosmetic regulations for the first time.

What Are CPNP and SCPN Notifications?

Notification is another important part of preparing cosmetic products for the appropriate market.

For products being placed on the EU market, businesses may need to submit information through the Cosmetic Product Notification Portal, commonly known as CPNP.

For products placed on the Great Britain market, businesses may need to use the Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications service, commonly known as SCPN.

Understanding which notification process applies to your product is important when planning a UK or EU launch. The notification step should be considered alongside the safety assessment, product documentation, labelling, and Responsible Person requirements.

Our CPNP and SCPN support helps brands manage these requirements as part of a wider cosmetic compliance process.

Why Might You Need a Responsible Person?

The Responsible Person has an important role in cosmetic product compliance. Businesses selling products in regulated markets need to understand who is responsible for meeting the applicable obligations.
