Hi, I’m Geraldine

Chartered Chemist and Cosmetic Product Safety Assessor for smaller and independent producers

If you’ve already decided cosmetic safety assessments look complex…..you’re right

But I can help with that

You probably didn’t start your cosmetics business because you think compliance procedures are fun. Or because of your deep love for chemistry.

But, to make getting a CPSR feel simple, you need to be at least a little comfortable with both. And, if you’re like most of my clients, you probably aren’t.

Back when I worked as a principal scientist at a pharmaceutical company, I spent a lot of time translating complex regulations into processes that you didn’t need a Chemistry PhD to follow.

Today, as a cosmetic safety assessor, I use that experience of simplifying the complex to make the process of getting a CPSR far less overwhelming for smaller and independent cosmetic producers like you.

As a Cosmetic Product Safety Assessor, I have a Master’s Degree, and a Certificate in Safety Assessment of Cosmetics in the EU. I also hold memberships with the Royal Society of Chemistry and the Society of Cosmetic Scientists. So you can be fully confident that  – even though I make getting a CPSR much easier – my reports are robust and will protect you from non-compliance.

I act as a Cosmetic Product Safety Assessor for people who have created their own cosmetic product recipe (or formulation), and those who prefer to use an existing recipe created by a wholesaler. If you are brand new to cosmetic manufacturing and would prefer to follow an existing recipe, you can find out more about this option on my blog: If you are New to Cosmetic Manufacture

When I’m not writing safety reports, you’ll find me spending time with my two wonderful children, travelling, running, and enjoying pottering around at home.

What you get when you choose me as your cosmetic safety assessor

Expertise and qualifications you can trust

As a Chartered Chemist, I’ve spent 15 years working in pharmaceutical safety and over ten years in cosmetic safety. During that time, over 600 brands have trusted me as their cosmetic product safety assessor.

The most thorough CPSRs on the market

My CPSRs may not be the cheapest you’ll find, but they are the most thorough. Unlike some, my reports contain everything you need to comply with regulations in the UK and all EU countries.

Simple processes, step-by-step instructions, and extra guidance

You’ll never feel lost or out of your depth. I’ll guide you through the process from start to finish, answer any questions you have, and even give you guidance on other aspects of cosmetic compliance.

How to get your safety report in three steps

Step 1: Request your CPSR paperwork or a quote

Step 2: Review your quote and recipe feedback

Step 3: Get your report

How you’ll know if I’m the right cosmetic product safety assessor for you

Getting a cosmetic to market can be an expensive process. But, if you sell an unsafe or non-compliant product, the costs could skyrocket.

As your cosmetic safety assessor, I take my responsibility to you and your customers very seriously. That’s why I spend extra time making sure your reports are thorough, detailed, and robust. So, although my reports aren’t the cheapest you’ll find, if you’re happy to spend a little extra in return for all this…..

  • a process that’s easy to follow…
  • extra help when you need it and guidance on other cosmetic safety compliance aspects…
  • a partner who’ll tell you how to fix a non-compliant product (rather than just telling you it hasn’t passed regulations), and
  • the most detailed report available, that gives you total confidence your product complies with regulations in the UK and all EU countries….

then we’re a match made in heaven.

You can find out more about what it costs to work with in my blog: How much does a CPSR cost.

If you’re just starting up a cosmetics business and don’t have your product recipes, you’re not ready to work with me quite yet. But, for information on how to get the ball rolling, you can read my blog on cosmetic regulations and what is needed before the CPSR: What do I need before I get a CPSR?
