EU Cosmetic Compliance by Country
Cosmetic compliance is harmonised across the EU under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 — one Responsible Person, one notification, every member state. These country guides cover local labelling language, market-entry expectations and the practical steps to place your products on each market.
Cosmetic compliance, country by country
Each guide covers the EU Responsible Person requirement, the CPSR and PIF, CPNP notification and local label language for that market.
More markets are added continually. Need one that isn't listed yet? Ask us about your target market.
City-level Responsible Person pages
For major metros we publish a dedicated, locally-framed page. Each one still gives you a single EU Responsible Person covering the whole Union — the city is the market angle, not a separate appointment.
Frequently asked questions
Is cosmetic compliance the same across the EU?
Yes. Cosmetic compliance is harmonised under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, so the core requirements — an EU Responsible Person, a CPSR, a PIF, compliant labelling and a CPNP notification — are the same in every member state. Country pages cover local labelling language and market-entry specifics.
Do I need a separate Responsible Person for each country?
No. A single EU Responsible Person and a single CPNP notification cover the entire EU. The country pages help you understand each market, not appoint a separate RP per country.
Is "cosmetic registration" a real EU process?
Many brands search for "cosmetic registration [country]", but the EU does not pre-approve cosmetics nationally. The correct route is EU compliance plus a CPNP notification, which applies EU-wide. We guide you through it.
Which country page should I start with?
Start with your largest target market or where you sell first. Each page links to the EU Responsible Person, CPSR, CPNP and label review steps for that market.
