Everything You Need for Cosmetics Compliance
Responsible Person (EU)
To place cosmetic products on the EU or UK market, a Responsible Person must be appointed.
We provide EU and/or UK Responsible Person services, manage communication with authorities, oversee compliance obligations, and supply the legal address required for product packaging.
Product Information File (PIF) Preparation
Every cosmetic product placed on the EU market must have a complete Product Information File.
We prepare your full PIF, including formulation details, safety assessments, test results, and manufacturing information — ready for authority inspection at any time.
Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)
A CPSR is required to confirm the safety of a cosmetic product before it is placed on the market.
A qualified cosmetic safety assessor evaluates all ingredients and prepares the complete CPSR for EU and UK compliance. We guide you through the process and ensure all documentation meets regulatory requirements.
Regulatory Notifications (CPNP & SCPN)
Cosmetic products must be notified through the EU CPNP and UK SCPN portals before being placed on the market.
We manage these submissions on your behalf, ensuring all information is accurate and your products remain legally registered.
Label & Packaging Review
Product labelling is a legal requirement, not just a design choice.
We review your packaging artwork to ensure all mandatory information — including ingredients, warnings, and Responsible Person details — is accurate and compliant before printing.
Testing Services
Product testing is essential to demonstrate the safety and stability of cosmetic products.
We coordinate accredited laboratory testing — including stability, microbiological analysis, and preservative efficacy — to support your PIF and CPSR requirements.

Frequently asked questions
Yes.
If your business does not have a registered legal entity in the UK, you are required to appoint a UK Responsible Person.
If your business does not have a registered legal entity within the European Union, you must appoint an EU-based Responsible Person.
Because the UK is no longer part of the EU following Brexit, selling products in both regions requires two separate Responsible Persons—one for the EU and one for the UK.
Having representation in both regions ensures your products can be sold without restriction and remain fully compliant with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements in each market.
Yes. Complico Consulting operates as two legally separate entities, registered in Germany and the United Kingdom.
This structure allows us to represent your brand in both regions, ensuring full regulatory compliance and seamless communication with authorities.
A Product Information File (PIF) is a mandatory regulatory dossier that contains essential information about your cosmetic product, including safety assessments, formulation details, testing data, and manufacturing processes.
It must be kept accessible at all times for review by regulatory authorities.
Complico Consulting compiles and maintains the full PIF on your behalf, ensuring compliance with both EU and UK cosmetic regulations.
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) verifies that your cosmetic product is safe for use on humans.
It is prepared by a qualified toxicologist and is a mandatory component of the Product Information File (PIF).
Complico Consulting’s toxicologists evaluate your ingredients and provide a fully compliant CPSR.
Every cosmetic product must be officially notified before it can be placed on the market.
CPNP applies to cosmetic products sold within the European Union.
SCPN applies to cosmetic products sold in the United Kingdom.
Once your PIF and CPSR are complete, Complico Consulting submits the required notifications on your behalf, ensuring your products are correctly registered and legally ready for sale.
Cosmetic product labels are required to display the following information:
Product name and intended purpose
Full ingredient list (using INCI names)
Batch or lot identification number
Name and address of the Responsible Person
Country of origin, where applicable
Mandatory warnings and precautionary statements
Our team reviews and verifies your labels prior to printing to ensure full compliance with all regulatory requirements.
You must supply test reports that demonstrate the safety of your cosmetic product, most commonly including stability testing, microbiological analysis, and preservative efficacy testing.
Complico Consulting coordinates these tests through accredited laboratories within the European Union.
The overall timeline depends on how quickly the required documentation is provided. In most cases:
CPSR & PIF preparation: approximately 2–3 weeks
CPNP / SCPN notification: within 1–2 working days after approval
Fast-track options are also available for urgent product launches.
Yes.
Once your products have a valid CPSR, PIF, and an appointed Responsible Person, they can be legally listed and sold on Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and other marketplaces across the EU.
Authorities may remove listings, block imports, or impose fines for non-compliance.
Complico Consulting helps you regularize your products and quickly prepare any missing compliance documentation—so you can remain fully market-ready.
To place cosmetic products on the EU market, several essential technical documents are required, including:
Product Information File (PIF)
Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)
Safety test reports (stability, microbiological, and challenge testing)
Product labels and packaging artwork
Evidence of Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance
If you’re uncertain which documents apply to your specific product, simply contact us at info@complicoconsulting.com, and our team will guide you through the requirements.
Yes.
While we do not design labels, our compliance specialists review your label artwork and provide clear, detailed feedback to ensure it complies with EU and UK labeling regulations.
We check for missing or incorrect information before your packaging goes to print.
