Label Review

Cosmetic label review is a mandatory step to ensure that your cosmetic products comply with EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 before being placed on the EU market.

Our Label Review Service verifies that your cosmetic product labels meet all EU legal requirements, helping you avoid non-compliance, product withdrawals, fines, or market access delays. We review both on-pack labeling and outer packaging, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and regulatory conformity.

Correct labeling is essential not only for compliance but also for consumer safety and transparency. Errors in ingredient listing, claims, warnings, or Responsible Person details are among the most common reasons for enforcement actions during market surveillance.

What We Review

Our cosmetic label review covers all mandatory EU labeling elements, including:

  • Ingredient list (INCI names) and correct order of declaration
  • Allergen labeling in line with EU requirements
  • Nominal content (weight or volume)
  • Responsible Person name and address
  • Country of origin (where applicable)
  • Batch number / PAO or expiry date
  • Warnings and precautionary statements
  • Function of the product (when not obvious)
  • Claims consistency with EU cosmetic claims regulation

The review is conducted in alignment with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, the EU Cosmetic Claims Regulation, and relevant guidance documents.

Why Label Review Matters

A compliant label is a legal requirement and a core part of the Product Information File (PIF). Incorrect or incomplete labeling may lead to:

  • Product rejection during inspections
  • Market surveillance actions
  • Costly re-labeling or product recalls

Our service provides clear, actionable feedback and, where needed, corrected label text, allowing you to update your packaging with confidence.

Whether you are launching a new cosmetic product, updating an existing label, or preparing documentation for EU market entry, our label review service ensures your products meet EU regulatory expectations.

Ensure your cosmetic labels are EU-compliant before going to market.
