Safety Assessment for Hair Conditioner
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report for a hair conditioner — where the cationic system that makes it work also decides how the product is assessed, and whether it is rinse-off or leave-in changes the numbers entirely.
Price range: € 150.00 through € 500.00

Document collection
We send a secure intake listing exactly what we need for a hair conditioner. The checklist below is the usual set.
Assessment & testing
Your assessor reviews the formulation against Annexes II–VI and calculates exposure. If tests are missing we arrange them with our partner laboratories.
Signed report
You receive the signed CPSR digitally, ready to go into your Product Information File.
Safety assessment for a hair conditioner
Conditioners are built on cationic surfactants and fatty alcohols, a chemistry quite different from the shampoo they follow. The critical scoping question is whether the product is rinsed out or left in: a leave-in conditioner uses leave-on exposure figures and is assessed far more conservatively than the same formula sold as a rinse-out.
You receive a full CPSR, Part A and Part B, with the exposure model matched to how your product is actually used.
What we look at in a hair conditioner
- Cationic surfactants and quaternary ammonium compounds — permitted concentrations and skin tolerance at the level you use.
- Rinse-off versus leave-in. The single decision that most changes the assessment. A leave-in is a different product in regulatory terms.
- Preservation of the water phase under Annex V, in a pack used with wet hands.
- Silicones and film formers, including any synthetic polymer microparticle content under the REACH restriction in Regulation (EU) 2023/2055.
- Fragrance allergens under Regulation (EU) 2023/1545, at the threshold matching rinse-off or leave-on use.
What you receive
A complete Cosmetic Product Safety Report in two parts, prepared and signed by a qualified Safety Assessor:
- Part A — safety information. Composition, physicochemical characteristics and stability, microbiological quality, impurities and packaging, the exposure assessment for your hair conditioner, the toxicological profile of every substance, and any undesirable effects.
- Part B — safety assessment. The assessor’s reasoned conclusion on whether the product is safe, together with any warnings or usage restrictions that must appear on the label.
Which laboratory tests you actually need
A hair conditioner normally contains a water phase, so the microbiological side of the file matters. The list below is the usual starting point — we confirm it against your actual formulation.
| Test | Usually needed | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Microbiological test (ISO 17516) | Yes | Confirms the finished product meets cosmetic microbiological limits |
| Preservative efficacy / challenge test (ISO 11930) | Yes | Demonstrates the preservative system holds across shelf life and use |
| Accelerated stability and compatibility test | Yes | Supports the shelf life and PAO you print on the pack |
| Certificate of Analysis (physicochemical) | Yes | pH, viscosity, density, appearance and odour for the CPSR |
Testing is arranged through our partner laboratories. If you already hold valid reports, we use yours — you are not asked to repeat work.
Typical required documents
This is what we normally ask for to start a hair conditioner safety assessment. You do not need every item on day one — send what you have and we will tell you what is missing.
| Document | Needed |
|---|---|
| Full formulation with INCI names and exact percentages | Always |
| Raw material specifications and technical data sheets | Always |
| Safety data sheets for the raw materials | Always |
| Finished product specification | Always |
| Primary packaging specification (material in contact with the product) | Always |
| Manufacturing method and GMP statement (ISO 22716) | Always |
| Label artwork or draft | Always |
| Stability and packaging compatibility data | Always |
| Rinse-off or leave-in intended use | Always |
| Cationic system and concentration | Always |
| Fragrance allergen declaration or IFRA certificate | If fragranced |
Why order your hair conditioner assessment with Lexora
- Assessed as a hair conditioner, not as a generic cosmetic. Whether the product is rinsed out or left in changes the exposure calculation entirely — getting that wrong invalidates the assessment.
- EU-recognised assessors. Signed by qualified, VUB-trained Safety Assessors.
- No unnecessary testing. We tell you which tests your formulation genuinely needs and which it does not.
- Transparent pricing. Published upfront and scaled to your formula — no hourly surprises.
- End-to-end route to market. Pair it with CPNP notification and an EU Responsible Person and you are done.

Q & A
Every EU cosmetic needs an EU Responsible Person
A safety report proves your product is safe. To legally place it on the EU market you also need an appointed EU Responsible Person — a role we can take on for you.
