COSMETIC SAFETY ASSESSMENT AND TOXICOLOGY SERVICES

Cosmetic Safety Assessment and Toxicology Services – An Overview

Cosmetic product safety assessment is of paramount importance when formulating and marketing cosmetic products. Different countries have different criteria for cosmetic product safety assessment. For instance, as per the European Union (EU) Cosmetic regulation 1223/2009 mandate, a safety assessment for cosmetics is required for every cosmetic product placed in Europe, and subsequently, a designated person should sign a detailed report called the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR). The preparation of CPSR is a highly technical activity that requires a thorough understanding of the chemistry and toxicology of cosmetic ingredients and the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) of individual ingredients. Likewise, Turkey (which uses a format similar to that of the EU), ASEAN countries, China, and other parts of the world have their own respective technical requirements when preparing the cosmetic product safety assessment documents for ingredients used.

One of the major challenges faced during the cosmetic product safety assessment is achieving consumer safety without conducting animal testing.
