EU Responsible Person for Cosmetics Sold in Bulgaria
Lexora provides EU Responsible Person and cosmetic compliance support from Bulgaria, helping non-EU cosmetic brands enter the EU market with the right documentation in place.
Who needs an EU Responsible Person for Bulgaria?
Under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, no cosmetic may be placed on the Bulgarian market without a Responsible Person established in the EU. That applies whether you sell one product or a full range.
Non-EU brands
Any cosmetic brand established outside the EU placing products on the Bulgarian market.
Importers & distributors
Businesses bringing cosmetics into the EU who need a designated RP independent of one supplier.
Private-label & indie brands
Skincare, perfume and colour brands selling D2C or via marketplaces in Bulgaria.
Online sellers
Amazon, Shopify and retail sellers who must show a compliant RP before listing.
What your Responsible Person does
- Keeps the Product Information File available to authorities for the required period.
- Ensures the CPSR and PIF are complete and current for every product.
- Supports the CPNP notification before market placement.
- Reviews labels, claims and warnings for the target market.
- Acts as the single contact point for competent authorities.

Common mistakes entering the Bulgarian market
- Assuming a Bulgarian or non-EU company registration replaces the EU Responsible Person obligation.
- Printing labels without the Bulgarian-language mandatory elements required for local sale.
- Treating CPNP notification as a national approval rather than the EU-level step it is.
- Entering the market before the CPSR and PIF are complete and held by the RP.
Frequently asked questions
Can Lexora act as my EU Responsible Person from Bulgaria?
Yes. Lexora is established in the EU and can be appointed as your EU Responsible Person, keeping your Product Information File available to authorities and acting as the contact point for market surveillance — covering the whole EU, not only Bulgaria.
Does a Bulgaria-based Responsible Person let me sell across the EU?
Yes. The Responsible Person and the CPNP notification are EU-level. A single RP established in Bulgaria covers cosmetic products placed anywhere on the EU market, so you do not need a separate RP per country.
Do my cosmetic labels need to be in Bulgarian?
For products sold on the Bulgarian market, the mandatory label elements (function, warnings, durability) must appear in Bulgarian. The ingredient list remains in INCI. We review your artwork and tell you precisely what to translate.
What do I need before appointing an EU Responsible Person?
A finalised formula and INCI list, your safety report (CPSR) status, the Product Information File, and your label artwork. If any are missing, we coordinate them as part of the appointment.
Is CPNP notification enough to sell cosmetics in Bulgaria?
No. CPNP notification is one step. You also need an EU Responsible Person, a CPSR, a complete PIF and compliant labelling before placing the product on the market. We map the full set for your product.
