Safety Assessment for Hair Conditioner

New · be the first to review

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.

How it works

From order to signed report

1

Select & order

Choose your formula size above and order online — no consultation call required.

2

Document collection

We send a secure intake listing exactly what we need for a hair conditioner. The checklist below is the usual set.

3

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.

TestUsually neededWhy
Microbiological test (ISO 17516)YesConfirms the finished product meets cosmetic microbiological limits
Preservative efficacy / challenge test (ISO 11930)YesDemonstrates the preservative system holds across shelf life and use
Accelerated stability and compatibility testYesSupports the shelf life and PAO you print on the pack
Certificate of Analysis (physicochemical)YespH, 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.

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.
The exposure assessment differs, so both use scenarios must be covered. Often that is one report addressing both, but it must be scoped that way from the start — tell us at intake.
By the number of ingredients in your formula. Select the matching tier above (1–9, 10–24, 25–39 or 40+) and the price updates automatically.
A qualified Safety Assessor — a toxicologist, pharmacist or equivalent professional, EU-recognised and trained at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), as Annex I of the Regulation requires.
No. The CPSR is mandatory but not sufficient on its own. You also need a complete Product Information File, a CPNP notification and an appointed EU Responsible Person. We provide all three.
It depends on the size of the formula and how complete your documentation is. Once your intake is in we confirm a timeline — and if laboratory testing is still outstanding, that is usually what sets the pace.
Yes. The safety report is one component of the PIF. We can assemble the whole dossier, or review the one you already hold.
