Safety Assessment for Concealer
A Cosmetic Product Safety Report covering a concealer shade range on one base formula — with the under-eye application that most concealers are actually bought for taken properly into account.
Price range: € 200.00 through € 675.00
Do all shades share the same base formula and differ only in colour pigments (the May Contain +/- system)?
This service is not the right fit. It is intended only for cosmetic ranges built on a common base formulation with a May Contain (+/-) ingredient declaration.
If each shade has its own individual formulation, please order our standard Cosmetic Product Safety Report, or contact us for a quotation covering the range.
Please contact us before ordering. Whether your shades share one base formula decides both the scope and the price, so we would rather check it with you than sell you the wrong assessment.
This range needs a tailored quote. Above 120 shades, or with 40+ ingredients in the combined formulation, the pigment matrix is reviewed in groups. A flat online price would either overcharge you or under-scope the work.

Document collection
We send a secure intake listing exactly what we need for a concealer. 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 concealer
Concealer follows the same logic as foundation: one base, many shades, one assessment. What sets it apart is where it goes. Concealer is applied under the eye, on the thinnest skin on the body and close enough to the eye that Annex IV eye-area colorant restrictions come into play — even though it is sold as a face product.
You receive a full CPSR covering the base formula and the full shade matrix.
What we look at in a concealer
- Under-eye application. Thinner skin and proximity to the eye, which pulls the Annex IV eye-area column into scope.
- Pigment matrix across the shade range against Annex IV, with purity criteria.
- Preservation where the base is a water-containing emulsion, including challenge testing.
- Applicator hygiene. Doe-foot and sponge applicators return to the pack after contact with the eye area repeatedly.
- Heavy metal traces in pigments as technically unavoidable impurities.
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 concealer, 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 concealer 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
