These experts translate complex regulations into actionable steps, saving months of research and preventing costly product recalls or market entry delays.

Regulatory Compliance Services for Cosmetic Products
Getting your cosmetic products to market means meeting specific regulations in each country where you’ll sell. Partner labs on our platform handle the paperwork, testing, and documentation you need to launch products legally and safely.
Product Registration and Documentation
Labs prepare and submit the exact documents regulators require for your products. They create Product Information Files (PIFs) for EU markets, register formulas with the FDA for US sales, and compile safety assessments that prove your products are safe to use.
Key documentation services include:
- Safety assessment reports by certified toxicologists
- CPNP notifications for European markets
- FDA registration and listing services
- Ingredient compliance verification
- Label review and correction
Most labs complete standard registrations within 2-4 weeks, letting you focus on marketing while they handle the technical requirements.
International Market Access Support
Each country has different rules for cosmetics. Labs track these changing regulations and prepare your products for multiple markets simultaneously. They know which preservatives Japan allows, what SPF testing Australia requires, and how to format labels for Canadian bilingual requirements.
Labs also manage:
- Import permits and certificates
- Local representative appointments
- Translation of technical documents
- Region-specific stability testing
Working with labs that understand global compliance saves months of research and prevents costly rejections at customs. Connect with regulatory specialists on our platform who already work in your target markets.
Practical Applications of Regulatory Compliance Services
Cosmetic labs apply regulatory compliance services across product development stages to meet safety standards and market requirements.
Product Registration and Documentation
Labs prepare technical dossiers for products entering new markets. They compile safety assessments, ingredient lists, and manufacturing details according to regional requirements. For EU markets, this includes creating Product Information Files (PIFs) with toxicological profiles and stability data.
Documentation services cover CPNP notifications for Europe, FDA registrations for the US, and NMPA filings for China. Labs handle translations, format conversions, and submission tracking through regulatory portals.
Testing Protocol Development
Compliance teams design testing programs based on product categories and target markets. They specify microbiological limits, heavy metal thresholds, and preservative efficacy standards. Custom protocols address specific claims like hypoallergenic or organic certifications.
Labs coordinate patch testing for sensitization, photostability studies for sun care products, and challenge tests for preservative systems. Results feed directly into safety assessments and marketing claim substantiation.
