No cosmetic product can legally be sold in the European Union without a confirmed safety assessment. While branding, packaging, and marketing may define a product’s appeal, its market access depends on just one thing: the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR).
At CE.way, we make sure your products meet the strictest safety requirements. Our safety assessments for cosmetics are performed by qualified professionals with deep experience in toxicology, EU regulations, and cosmetic formulation — ensuring your documentation is not only compliant, but bulletproof.
What Is a CPSR?
The CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report) is a mandatory component of the Product Information File (PIF) required under EU Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009. It confirms that a product is safe for human health when used under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions.
The CPSR consists of two essential parts:
✅ Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information
This section gathers all the necessary data required for risk assessment:
- Quantitative and qualitative composition of the product
- Raw material specifications and safety data
- Toxicological profiles of each ingredient
- Impurity levels, residue profiles, and manufacturing process details
- Packaging material and compatibility data
- Results of microbiological and stability testing
- Exposure assessment and target demographic (e.g., infants, face use)
We collect, review, and organize this data on your behalf, ensuring that nothing is missing or inconsistent.
✅ Part B: Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment
This part contains the expert opinion of a qualified safety assessor, who provides:
- Scientific justification of product safety
- A risk characterization based on exposure, toxicity, and margin of safety
- An explicit conclusion on whether the product is safe for use
- Any conditions or warnings required on the label
Our assessors are highly experienced and fully compliant with EU requirements — holding relevant degrees and professional qualifications in toxicology, pharmacy, or related sciences.
You can learn more about our complete CPSR safety assessment services and how we prepare fully compliant reports for EU, UK, and international markets.
Who Needs a CPSR?
All cosmetic products sold within the EU — whether imported or locally manufactured — must have a valid CPSR included in the PIF. This applies to:
- Leave-on and rinse-off products
- Products for children or sensitive skin
- Natural or organic cosmetics
- Private label and white-label formulations
- Reformulated or repackaged products
Even if the formula uses widely accepted ingredients, a professional toxicological analysis is still required — one that evaluates the entire formula, context of use, packaging interaction, and expected daily exposure.

Safety First — And Verified
Regulators expect more than compliance checkboxes. They expect proof of responsibility — that your brand has taken every step to protect the health and safety of consumers. A properly prepared CPSR is not only a legal requirement, but a symbol of that commitment.
At CE.way, we stand behind every report we deliver. Our goal is simple: to give your product a safe, scientifically sound, and compliant foundation — so it can succeed confidently on the European market and beyond.
