Regulatory & Toxicology

Regulatory & Toxicology

Launching a cosmetic product on the market is nowadays becoming a real challenge, from a safety and regulatory point of view.

Being aware of major constraints at an early stage of product development is one of the main keys to success for any brand.

Our international regulation and safety assessment expert teams are involved in the major study groups and discussions led by authorities therefore supporting your projects during all the stages with the latest regulatory updates.

From the first formulation steps to the registration in countries, audit of the cosmetic dossier, signature of the safety report, and management of cosmetovigilance throughout the product's entire lifecycle.

The Regulatory Affairs Officer and Toxicologist Teams at Eurofins C&PC Regulatory & Toxicology can also provide you with personalised support during your multi-sourcing process (Learn more).

The team is composed of Eurotox Toxicologists who have a strong industrial background and extensive expertise in complex products such as products for babies and pregnant women, and those containing essential oils. Our experts work closely with all relevant departments in the field of product safety to ensure an optimal coordination; for example in vitro testing, microbiology and tolerance studies.

All stages of the evaluation process are in line with the European Cosmetics Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Article 3:

"A cosmetic product made available on the market is safe for human health when used Under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use".
