Description
The Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a mandatory document under EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 (Article 10 and Annex I). It ensures that every cosmetic product placed on the European market is safe for human health when used under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions.
Structure of the CPSR
The CPSR is divided into two main parts:
Part A – Cosmetic Product Safety Information
Part A contains all scientific and technical data needed to evaluate product safety. Specifically, it includes:
- Product identification and category
- Quantitative and qualitative composition (INCI list and ingredient concentrations)
- Physical/chemical characteristics and stability
- Microbiological quality
- Impurities, traces, and packaging information
- Normal and reasonably foreseeable use
- Exposure assessment for each ingredient and product type
- Toxicological profile of each substance
- Undesirable effects (UE) and serious undesirable effects (SUE)
- Additional information from human studies or literature sources
Part B – Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment
Part B is prepared and signed by a qualified Safety Assessor, typically a toxicologist, pharmacist, or related professional. It includes:
- Expert evaluation of Part A information
- Conclusion on product safety under intended use
- Labeling requirements and warnings (if applicable)
- Scientific reasoning supporting the safety conclusion
- Assessor’s credentials and signature
Why the CPSR Matters?
The CPSR is a core document for EU cosmetic products. It must be included in the Product Information File (PIF) and provided to competent authorities upon request.
At Lexora, our qualified safety assessors prepare fully compliant CPSRs following the latest EU guidelines. As a result, your cosmetic products meet all regulatory and safety requirements before entering the European market.
