The EU Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a comprehensive document that plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of cosmetic products placed on the European Union (EU) market. It is a requirement under the EU Cosmetic Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009), which sets out the rules and regulations for cosmetic products.

Key components of the EU Cosmetic Product Safety Report include:

1. Product Information: The CPSR contains detailed information about the cosmetic product, including its name, category, and intended use. It also specifies the name and address of the Responsible Person—the entity or person responsible for placing the product on the market.
2. Product Composition: A detailed list of all the ingredients present in the cosmetic product, including their chemical names, concentration levels, and functions, is provided. This information is crucial for assessing the safety of the product.
3. Exposure Assessment: The report includes an evaluation of the exposure of consumers to the cosmetic product. This involves considering factors such as frequency and duration of use, target population, and potential exposure through various routes (e.g., skin contact, ingestion, inhalation).
4. Toxicological Profile: A thorough toxicological assessment is conducted for each ingredient in the cosmetic product. This involves evaluating the potential health risks associated with individual ingredients, as well as any cumulative effects from the combination of ingredients.
5. Safety Assessment: Based on the exposure assessment and toxicological profile, a safety assessment is carried out to determine whether the cosmetic product is safe for use. This assessment considers potential risks to human health and aims to ensure that the product meets the safety requirements specified in the EU Cosmetic Regulation.
6. Labeling Information: The CPSR includes details on the labeling of the cosmetic product, ensuring that it complies with the relevant labeling requirements outlined in the EU Cosmetic Regulation.
7. Conclusion and Recommendations: The report concludes with a summary of the safety assessment and any recommendations for additional measures to ensure the product’s safety.

The EU Cosmetic Product Safety Report is prepared by our qualified safety assessor, often someone with a background in toxicology or a related scientific field. It serves as a critical tool for demonstrating compliance with regulatory requirements and ensuring that cosmetic products placed on the EU market are safe for consumers when used as intended.

It’s important to note that the Cosmetic Product Safety Report is part of the broader regulatory framework for cosmetics in the EU, and its preparation is a legal obligation for companies placing cosmetic products on the market.
