Cosmetic products on the market must be regulatory compliant AND safe. As a brand owner, you need confidence that both requirements are continuously met. Our expert team of toxicologists, chemists and experienced safety assessors will perform the regulatory compliance and the safety assessment, and they will continuously monitor any changes that may impact the regulatory compliance and/or safety of your products.

We appoint a dedicated TRC expert to each client, who will assess all raw materials, formulas, packaging and finished products for compliance with the EU, UK and/or the US Cosmetics Regulations. From the regulatory compliance point of view, the expert will verify the absence of banned substances, the maximum quantity of restricted substances, and the exclusive use of allowed colourants, preservatives and UV-filters.

As the Cosmetics Regulations require both assessment on compliance and also assessment of the safety of individual substances in the formulations and product stability, the TRC expert will also evaluate the safety and perform safety calculations (e.g., calculate the margins of safety (MoS) and prepare the CPSR according to the requirements of Annex 1.

It is important to realize that a product that has been assessed as compliant and safe, can become non-compliant and/or unsafe. This may result either from regulatory or scientific developments, and/or from changes introduced by you as a brand owner and your suppliers. For example, the use of specific substances may become restricted or prohibited based on new scientific evidence. As a brand owner you may decide to switch suppliers, to reformulate your product, or to adjust your product claims.

Our experts will continuously monitor any changes that may impact the regulatory compliance and/or safety of your products, and ensure that they are timely and adequately addressed.

For new products, preferably in the New Product Development (NPD) stage, all data that is entered into our PRIMS software is verified by our experts based on the supporting documents.

At the same time, all data is automatically assessed in real-time against the regulatory and toxicological data at substance level. At every stage in the product life-cycle, and at any time a change takes place, the impact on safety and compliance is immediately visible in dashboard overviews and communicated to you.

As a result, we have 24/7 insight in the status of your raw materials, formulas, packaging and products. Not only on safety and compliance, but also on the product life cycle they are in. This way you and our team can be confident about your portfolio compliance and safety at all times.
