30-Minute Expert Consultation for EU, UK and USA Regulations

What's included in your 30-minute consultation

Who this consultation is for

• Start-ups with one compliance question before their first launch
• Importers and distributors bringing EU or US products into the UK
• Manufacturers needing quick formula-safety or toxicology guidance
• Responsible Persons needing a fast answer on a notification
• Private-label producers checking one document or formula issue

What this consultation does not include

• A full launch plan — founders mapping every step from concept to market should book the Brand Launch Consultation.
• Organisation-wide strategy — multi-market planning, ISO management systems and ESG work are covered by Enterprise Strategic Consulting.
• Preparing the documents — the session is advisory; to have a safety report written, order a CPSR for a single product.
• A line-by-line artwork audit — for a full check of your packaging against Article 19, order a Label & Packaging Review.

How it works

3. Join your 30-minute session Meet on Zoom or Microsoft Teams for focused answers on your question.
4. Receive your written summary Get the applicable regulatory references, key findings and next steps to act on.

What is a cosmetic regulatory consultation?

A cosmetic regulatory consultation is a short advisory session in which a compliance specialist answers a specific question about selling a cosmetic, fragrance or related consumer product in the UK, EU or US. This 30-minute format is built for one question: what a CPSR must contain, what goes in a PIF, whether a label meets

Article 19, how to notify on CPNP or SCPN, or what MoCRA requires in the US.

One unanswered question can hold up testing, a notification or a launch for days. A focused call with someone who works with these rules every day gets you a clear answer and a written record of what to do next. If you need a whole launch plan or organisation-level strategy, the longer consultations listed below are the better fit.

Cosmetic regulatory questions we can answer in 30 minutes

Each session focuses on the rules that apply to your product and target market. Typical topics:

• CPSR advice — what the Cosmetic Product Safety Report must contain under Article 10 and Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, and the data a safety assessor will need from you.
• PIF help — what belongs in the Product Information File under Article 11, which must be kept for 10 years after the last batch is placed on the market.
• Toxicological risk — data gaps, NOAEL questions and how to read a Margin of Safety.
• Label checks — the Article 19 particulars: Responsible Person name and address, nominal content, date of minimum durability or period after opening, precautions, batch number, function and ingredient list.
• CPNP and SCPN guidance — notification under Article 13 through the EU CPNP portal, or through the GB Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications (SCPN) service run by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS).
• Fragrance and IFRA — applying the IFRA Standards and the expanded fragrance allergen labelling rules introduced by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545.
• SDS, REACH and CLP advice — Safety Data Sheet authoring and classification under REACH, CLP and GHS for the UK, EU, US and Canada.
• MoCRA and US product safety — FDA obligations under the Modernization of Cosmetics Regulation Act of 2022 (facility registration, product listing, serious adverse event reporting and safety substantiation), plus CPSC rules and Children's Product Certificates.

What to send before your session

Sending these in advance means your 30 minutes are spent on answers:

• Formulation — full INCI list with percentages.
• Safety Data Sheets — for the product or its raw materials.
• Label drafts — current artwork or label text.
• Test reports — any stability, microbiological or other results you already hold.
