Anhydrous & Alcohol-Based Cosmetic Safety Package
For oils, powders, waxes and alcohol-based products: PIF, CPSR and stability testing. No microbiological test, no challenge test — because a product with no water phase does not need them.

Deliberately smaller than the water-based package — two tests you do not need are left out.
CPSR signed by EU-recognised, VUB-trained Safety Assessors.
10% off the combined price of the individual services.
Make sure this is you. This package is for formulations with no water phase. If water appears anywhere in your formulation, you need microbiological and challenge testing too — order the Water-Based package instead. The table below shows which group you fall into.
In the package
Three services, sized to your formulation
What an anhydrous or alcohol-based cosmetic actually needs, with an optional Certificate of Analysis.
Core
Product Information File (PIF)
Your dossier assembled and checked for completeness in the Article 11 legal format.
Core
Cosmetic Product Safety Report
Parts A and B, signed by a qualified Safety Assessor. Priced by ingredient count.
Core
Accelerated Stability & Compatibility
Oxidation, separation and packaging interaction over shelf life — required for anhydrous products too.
Optional add-on
Certificate of Analysis
Optional: batch-level confirmation that your product meets its specification.
How it works
Three steps to a complete safety file
1
Select your formula size
Choose your ingredient tier above and order online. No consultation call needed.
2
One secure intake
Formulation, packaging and artwork submitted once, for both the assessor and the lab.
3
Test, then assessment
Stability results feed into your CPSR. You receive the complete file digitally.
No water phase means two fewer tests
Microbiological testing and preservative efficacy (challenge) testing exist for one reason: to address microbial growth. Microbes need available water. A formulation with no water phase — a hair or body oil, a dry powder, a high-alcohol spray, a wax or pomade — does not present that risk, and those two tests do not apply to it.
What does still apply is the Product Information File, the Cosmetic Product Safety Report, and an accelerated stability and compatibility test — because every product, wet or dry, has to survive its shelf life in its packaging.
This package is those three services, at a 10% saving.

Aerosols are different. If your product is filled into an aerosol can, additional rules apply on top of the tests above and it needs a dedicated aerosol safety assessment. Contact us and we will scope it properly rather than sell you the wrong package.
How the price works
The PIF and stability test are fixed-price. The CPSR scales with the number of ingredients in your formula, so the package price follows the tier you select above. The configurator shows each component and its discounted price before you add to cart.
Why this package exists
- You are not sold tests you do not need. Plenty of providers quote one cosmetic testing package regardless of formulation. An anhydrous product does not need microbiological or challenge testing, so it is not in here.
- Stability is not optional — anhydrous does not mean stable. Oxidation, separation, rancidity and packaging interaction all still apply, which is why the stability test stays.
- One intake, one timeline — assessor and lab work from a single submission.
- 10% saving against ordering the three services separately.
Borderline formulation? Low-water, water-in-oil and anhydrous-but-hygroscopic products are exactly where this decision gets subtle. Send us the formulation before ordering and we will tell you which package applies — including if it is the cheaper one.
If there is no water — no aqua — in the formulation, it is anhydrous. Hair and body oils, dry shampoos and powders, alcohol-based sprays, waxes, pomades and anhydrous balms are the usual cases. If you are not certain, send us the formulation before ordering.
Anhydrous does not mean stable. Oils oxidise and go rancid, powders cake and absorb moisture, waxes bloom, and any formulation can interact with its packaging. Stability and compatibility testing applies to every cosmetic regardless of water content.
You can order it separately if a customer, retailer or your own quality system asks for it. From a regulatory standpoint it is not required for a genuinely anhydrous product, and we will not pretend otherwise to increase the order value.
A high alcohol content can make a formulation self-preserving even with water present, which is why alcohol-based sprays sit on the anhydrous side of the table. Because the threshold matters, send us the formulation and we will confirm which package applies.
It completes your safety and testing file. You still need a CPNP notification and an appointed EU Responsible Person to place the product on the market — we provide both.
The PIF and stability test are fixed. The CPSR scales with your ingredient count, so the total depends on the tier you select above. The configurator shows the exact figure before you add to cart.
