Safety assessment for cosmetics marketed for pregnancy
There is no legal category of "pregnancy-safe cosmetic" in EU law. What exists is a set of substances where developmental or endocrine concerns are documented, and a customer group that reads labels more carefully than any other. This service does two things: it assesses your formulation with those substances specifically in scope, and it tells you plainly which claims you can defend.
The toxicological work is deeper than a standard CPSR — reproductive and developmental endpoints are examined explicitly rather than taken as read — which is why the price sits above the standard tier.
What we look at in a cosmetic for use during pregnancy
- Retinoids. Vitamin A derivatives are the first thing this customer group looks for, and Regulation (EU) 2024/996 has already set limits on them in cosmetics.
- Salicylic acid and other BHAs, at the concentrations used in leave-on treatment products.
- Substances with endocrine-activity concerns, including phytoestrogens such as genistein and daidzein addressed by the same 2024 amendment.
- Essential oils traditionally flagged in pregnancy, and their constituents at your finished concentration.
- Dermal absorption assumptions, examined conservatively where systemic exposure is the concern.
- The claim itself. "Safe for pregnancy" is a claim like any other and has to satisfy the common criteria of Regulation (EU) No 655/2013.
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 cosmetic for use during pregnancy, 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 cosmetic for use during pregnancy 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 cosmetic for use during pregnancy safety assessment. You do not need every item on day one — send what you have and we will tell you what is missing.

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.
