Safety assessment of cosmetic products is a key element before introducing them to the market. The purpose of the safety assessment is to confirm that the cosmetic product is safe for the user and that it meets the relevant legal requirements. The result of the safety assessment is the Cosmetic Product Safety Report.
Cosmetic product safety report
Cosmetic product safety report, in accordance with Art. 10 and Annex I of Regulation 1223/2009/EC, is a fundamental document that must be prepared by a qualified Safety Assessor. This report confirms that the product is safe for users under normal conditions of use.
As part of the safety assessment, documentation is analyzed in terms of INCI composition, product specifications, target group of users, safety data sheets of individual raw materials and the results of tests conducted for the product. The Safety Assessor also analyzes available toxicological literature to ensure that the product does not pose a risk to human health. The Cosmetic Product Safety Report consists of two parts: A and B, which document in detail all aspects related to the safety of the product.
Part A of the report contains information on the composition of the product, its physical and chemical properties, stability, microbiological quality and potential contaminants. Part B is the safety assessment, which covers the conclusions of the assessment, warnings and instructions for use, reasoning and qualifications of the expert. Confirmation by the Safety Assessor that the product is safe is necessary for its placing on the market.
