Get your cosmetic safety assessment within two to three weeks

(and without stress-induced sleep-loss)

When you work with me, getting your cosmetic safety assessment becomes a faster and far less stressful process. That’s just one of the reasons over 600 brands have trusted me to make sure their product is safe, and their business is protected from the nasty consequences of non-compliance.

Brands small and large trust me as their safety assessor

Get your cosmetic safety assessment in three steps

Step 1: Request your CPSR paperwork or a quote

Email me to request your CPSR paperwork. Or, if you’d like a rough quote, ask for the quote form. Complete your form using the step-by-step instructions, and return it to me.

Step 2: Review your quote and recipe feedback

You’ll have a quote within 2 working days. If I can immediately see your recipe won’t be compliant, I’ll tell you how to fix it before going ahead with your CPSR. If you asked for a quote and want to go ahead, you’ll complete your full CPSR forms at this stage.

Step 3: Get your report

Let me know if you’re happy to go ahead, and I’ll send you an invoice. Once you’ve sent payment, I’ll start work. You’ll receive your assessment report within two to three weeks.

What you’ll get when you work with me

A simple process and step-by-step instructions

CPSR paperwork will always be complex (unless you’re a Chemist!). But my simple three-step process, jargon-free approach, and step-by-step paperwork instructions mean you can fill in your forms correctly with much less stress

The best quality CPSR and total reassurance of safety and compliance

My CPSRs aren’t the cheapest, but they are the most thorough your money can buy. This means you’ll have total confidence that your product is compliant in the UK and all EU countries, and your customers are safe. Ahhhh, peace of mind. That’s priceless.

Extra advice and support

Whether you need a little extra help to complete your paperwork, or you need guidance on other aspects of cosmetic safety compliance, I’ll help. Simply email me, and I’ll get back to you within 2 working days.

Guidance if you need to adjust your recipe

Unlike a lot of safety assessors, I ask to see your product recipe before I give you a quote. If I can see straight away it isn’t compliant, I’ll let you know and tell you how to fix it before starting work on your report. If I realise during the assessment that your recipe needs adjusting, I’ll let you know how to fix it. Plus, once you’ve made the adjustments, I’ll revisit your report for no extra charge.

Two to three-week turnaround

With a fast turnaround time of just two to three weeks, you can launch your next product with fewer delays. If there are other compliance procedures you can complete while you’re waiting for your report, I’ll give you guidance on what they are and how to go about them.

FAQ’s

Do I need a cosmetic safety report?

By law, you must have a safety report before you can sell a cosmetic product in the EU or the UK. This applies if you have created your own recipe, or if you have used a recipe you’ve purchased from a wholesaler.

What counts as a cosmetic product?

In simple terms, anything that is intended to be put on the hair, skin, nails, lips, teeth, or gums to improve or change their appearance or smell is considered a cosmetic product. If you are unsure whether your product would be considered as a cosmetic, email me and I’ll let you know.

Are your reports expensive?

The amount I charge depends on how many ingredients you have used in your product recipe. On average, my clients pay £250 for their first report, but it could be more or less, depending on your recipe. Generally speaking, my reports are not the cheapest, but they are the most thorough and give you everything you need to comply with the regulations in the UK and all EU countries.

Are all cosmetic product safety reports the same?

In short, no. All safety assessors have their own way of doing things, and use their own templates for the reports. Some assessors may offer different options, such as a very low cost option for a shorter report that is missing some information needed to comply with regulations in certain EU countries. Before you pay for a report, it is important to check that the assessor will provide everything you need to comply with the regulations of the country you are selling your product in.

The reports I provide are extremely thorough, and contain everything you need to sell your product in the UK and all EU countries.

Will I need to send you a sample of my product?

No. I’ll ask you to fill in a form that tells me what’s in your product, and how much of each ingredient there is. I’ll use this information to assess whether your product is safe and compliant with the rules in the UK and EU.

Is the form complicated to fill in?

You’ll need to provide a lot of information on your forms, and some of it may seem like scientific jargon. To make the process feel less overwhelming, my forms have links to videos showing you how to fill them in, and explaining any jargon in everyday terms. If anything is unclear, you can arrange a call and we’ll chat it through together.

What if my recipe isn’t safe or compliant, and I need to change it?

If I can tell your recipe will need adjusting from the information you provide in your quote request forms, I’ll let you know and tell you how to fix it before we move forwards with your report. If I discover that your recipe needs to be changed during the assessment, I’ll let you know and tell you how to fix it. Once you’ve adjusted your recipe, I’ll revisit your report for no extra charge.

Will I understand the CPSR?

I do all the hard work of looking at the safety regulations so you don’t have to. If you have any questions once you have the report, email me and I’ll happily talk it through with you.

Will I need to get other compliance checks or tests done before I can sell my product?

Depending on your product, some extra tests and checks may be needed before you can start selling it. If you are unsure about which checks you need, I’ll give you guidance and refer you to businesses that provide these services. I’ll only refer you to testing companies that I know and trust. Also read my blog on what to do before requesting a CPSR.
