EU Responsible Person for Cosmetics Sold in Denmark
If your cosmetic brand is based outside the EU and wants to sell in Denmark, you need an EU Responsible Person before placing products on the market. Lexora takes that role and manages your compliance file.
Who needs an EU Responsible Person for Denmark?
Under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, no cosmetic may be placed on the Danish 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 Danish 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 Denmark.
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 Danish market
- Selling before a valid EU Responsible Person is appointed.
- Leaving mandatory label elements in English instead of Danish for the Danish market.
- Overlooking fragrance-allergen labelling that Danish consumers scrutinise.
- Treating CPNP notification as a Danish national approval.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an EU Responsible Person to sell cosmetics in Denmark?
Yes. Every cosmetic placed on the Danish and wider EU market needs a designated EU Responsible Person established in the EU. Lexora can act as your RP for the Danish market.
Does my cosmetic label need to be in Danish?
Yes. For products sold in Denmark the mandatory elements (function, warnings, durability) must appear in Danish. The INCI list stays standard. We adapt your artwork for the Danish market.
Is allergen labelling important in Denmark?
Yes. Danish consumers pay close attention to fragrance-allergen declarations. Your label and PIF must reflect the required allergen information. We check this as part of the label review.
Is one EU Responsible Person enough for Denmark and other EU countries?
Yes. The RP and CPNP notification are EU-level, so a single Responsible Person covers Denmark and every other EU member state where you sell.
Do I need to register my cosmetics with a Danish authority?
There is no separate Danish pre-market registration. The EU route is a CPNP notification plus full compliance. The Danish Environmental Protection Agency oversees cosmetics and can inspect your file.
