Introduction

CPSR stands for Cosmetic Product Safety Report. Every cosmetic item offered in the UK or EU region requires a CPSR based on UK Cosmetic Regulation 2020 (SI 2020/1466) and Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

For brands that have products in multiple variants of fragrances, different variations of the product also need a safety assessment. Product fragrances do not significantly alter a product’s toxicological attributes.

Phoenix Safety Consultants has undertaken the Fragrances CPSR (Multiple Variants) and offers harmonized safety assessment of varying products that differ based on the fragrance composition. This approach aims to ease the multiple Cosmetic Product Safety Report CPSR requirements and ensure that safety assessments are compliant with all applicable legislation.

What This Service Covers

Our multi-variant CPSR service focuses on cases where only the fragrance component varies while the rest of the formulation stays the same. This applies to personal care and cosmetic products such as candles, creams, lotions, mists, or body oils that are offered as scent-enabled variants.

Service includes:

  • Evaluating all variants of a formula to ensure compliance with safety and regulatory standards.
  • Assessing fragrance usage to guarantee safety as per the International Fragrance Association (IFRA) guidelines.
  • Identifying and quantifying fragrance allergens as per Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
  • Toxicological assessment of essential oils, natural extracts, and aroma chemicals in each formulation variant.
  • Evaluating safety limits of the fragrance in the formulation and all other variants for cumulative exposure.

In a report for Phoenix Safety Consultants, all variants are consolidated which allows Responsible Persons to keep documentation unified, while still variant-specific in the Product Information File (PIF).

Legal Basis for Multi-Variant CPSRs

Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and Schedule 34 of the UK Cosmetic Regulation 2020, retained in UK law, set the legal groundwork for this service.

All cosmetic products need to undergo a safety assessment carried out by an appropriately qualified safety assessor prior to placement on the market.

For variants based on fragrance, compliance must also include:

  • Open SCCS Opinions on fragrance allergens and sensitisation thresholds (SCCS/1501/12 Rev. 2020)
  • IFRA Standards and ISO 9235 on Natural and Synthetic Aromatic Substances
  • Annex III of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009 on Allergen labels and restricted substances
  • Cross-check Annex II and Annex V on prohibited and preservative ingredients

Our multi-variant CPSR solution ensures compliance with all the documented controls for each of the fragrance compositions. Shared data (toxicology, base ingredients, exposure levels) are utilized in a consolidated manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) and why do I need it?

A CPSR is a legal requirement under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. It confirms that your cosmetic product is safe for human use. Without a CPSR, your product cannot be sold legally in the EU.


Can I sell cosmetics in the EU without a Responsible Person?

No. Appointing an EU-based Responsible Person is mandatory to legally place cosmetic products on the EU market.


What happens if I don’t comply with EU cosmetic regulations?

Non-compliance can result in product withdrawal from the market, fines, or legal action. It can also damage your brand’s reputation.


What is an EU Responsible Person (RP)?

The RP is an individual or company based in the EU who acts as the main contact point for regulatory authorities. They are responsible for ensuring product compliance, safety, documentation, and CPNP notification.


What is the CPNP and what does registration involve?

The CPNP (Cosmetic Product Notification Portal) is an EU system for notifying authorities about cosmetic products. It involves submitting product details, safety assessments, and label info to comply with EU laws.


Who can act as my Responsible Person?

It can be an authorized company, consultancy, or distributor based in the EU — but they must have the expertise to handle compliance and regulatory responsibilities.
