Safety Assessment of Cosmetic Products in Europe
|
In the EU, cosmetic products are subject to strict safety requirements, and they must pass a safety assessment before they can be legally marketed in the EU. This means that cosmetic companies must ensure that their products are safe for consumers and comply with all health and safety standards set by the EU.
The safety assessment may include evaluating the raw materials, reviewing the product's composition, and assessing potential risks and side effects. For the safety assessment, laboratory tests must be conducted on the product in accordance with the Cosmetic Regulation. |

Where can I get a safety assessment for a cosmetic product?
According to the EU Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009), the safety assessment of cosmetic products can only be conducted by a qualified cosmetic science expert or laboratory. These experts or laboratories may be either internal or external to the company, as long as they possess the required expertise and qualifications to perform safety assessments for cosmetic products.
The safety assessment of cosmetic products is an essential part of introducing them to the market in the EU, ensuring that products are safe for consumers according to their intended use. The safety assessment must cover all stages of the product, including the selection of raw materials, evaluation of the product's composition, identification and assessment of potential risks, and proper documentation of product information.

Affordable safety assessment to ensure product quality
In theory, the manufacturer can perform the safety assessment of cosmetic products themselves, provided they have the necessary expertise and resources for the task. However, the manufacturer must ensure that the safety assessment is carried out professionally, objectively, and in compliance with all requirements set out in the EU Cosmetics Regulation.
Often, manufacturers rely on external experts or laboratories to perform the safety assessment, especially if they lack sufficient expertise or resources to handle the task themselves. Utilizing external experts can also increase safety and objectivity in the assessment process, as it brings additional expertise and independence. Additionally, external experts and laboratories can provide specialized services and tools that may be required in certain assessment cases.
The availability of safety assessments in Finland and the EU is at a good level, and the costs are not high, making the use of external safety assessments recommended from both product quality and cost perspectives, even if the manufacturer or contractor has the qualifications to assess the product's safety.
