Safety Assessment for Hair Mask
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report for a hair mask or deep treatment — higher active loading and much longer contact time than a conditioner, which is exactly what the exposure assessment has to reflect.
Price range: € 150.00 through € 500.00

Document collection
We send a secure intake listing exactly what we need for a hair mask. 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 mask
A hair mask is a conditioner with the volume turned up: richer actives, heavier cationics, and a contact time measured in tens of minutes rather than seconds. Some are used under heat. Under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 the extended contact time and the frequency of use are what the exposure model turns on.
You receive a complete CPSR, Part A and Part B, scoped for an extended-contact hair treatment.
What we look at in a hair mask
- Contact time and frequency. A weekly 20-minute treatment and a daily rinse-out are not the same exposure, and the assessment must say which one it covers.
- Higher cationic and oil loading, and what that does to preservative availability in the water phase.
- Protein hydrolysates and botanical actives, including allergenic potential and the source documentation behind them.
- Use under heat, if the instructions call for it — it changes both penetration and stability expectations.
- Fragrance allergens under Regulation (EU) 2023/1545.
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 mask, 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 mask 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 mask 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 |
| Recommended contact time and frequency of use | Always |
| Instructions for use, including any heat step | Always |
| Fragrance allergen declaration or IFRA certificate | If fragranced |
Why order your hair mask assessment with Lexora
- Assessed as a hair mask, not as a generic cosmetic. Extended contact time is the whole point of a mask, and it is the variable a generic hair-product assessment is least likely to capture.
- 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.
