Cosmetic Compliance Services: Ensuring Global Market Entry

Navigating cosmetics regulations across global markets is complicated. Different countries mean different rules, labeling requirements, and ingredient bans. But getting this right is crucial, not just for compliance, but for protecting your brand’s reputation.

We’re here to simplify cosmetic compliance, helping you avoid the pitfalls that cost brands time, money, and consumer trust.

Why Cosmetic Compliance Matters

Consumers today care deeply about what’s in their skincare, haircare, makeup, and fragrances. Regulatory authorities like the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), EU (European Union), and NMPA (National Medical Products Administration) have increased oversight to ensure consumer safety. Non-compliance can lead to:

Case Example: Recently, hundreds of skincare products were turned away at US customs because product labelling didn’t meet FDA requirements. Don’t let this be your story.

The Challenges You Face

Cosmetic brands commonly struggle with:

  • Ingredient Restrictions: EU bans over 1,600 ingredients, while US states have increasingly stringent rules, e.g., banning PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances).
  • Labeling Compliance: Every label detail matters, from INCI (International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients) ingredient names to allergen disclosures. Getting this wrong triggers costly relabelling.
  • Documentation Complexity: Keeping up-to-date Product Information Files (PIF) and Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR) is critical yet overwhelming.
  • Regional Variations: Each country, from the EU and UK (United Kingdom) to China and Australia, demands different filings, notifications, and local representatives.

Sound complicated? It doesn’t have to be.
