Cosmetic importers and distributors play a critical role in ensuring that products placed on the EU market are fully compliant with EU Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009. When a brand does not already have an appointed Responsible Person (RP), the distributor may take on this legal responsibility along with all associated compliance obligations.
Skin Safe supports distributors in managing regulatory risk, documentation, and market readiness before and after import.
Services
Due Diligence Support
Before deciding to import a cosmetic brand or specific products, thorough regulatory due diligence is essential.
Skin Safe supports distributors by reviewing, collecting, and assessing all required documentation needed for EU compliance, including the data necessary for CPSR and Product Information File (PIF) preparation. This service helps you:
- Identify regulatory gaps before import
- Assess whether products can legally enter the EU market
- Reduce commercial and legal risk before onboarding new brands or SKUs
Local Label Generation
The European Union consists of multiple countries, each with its own official language requirements.
When selling cosmetic products across different EU markets, product labels must be understandable to consumers in the local language(s).
Skin Safe generates compliant cosmetic labels tailored to each target country, ensuring:
- Correct language versions
- Compliance with EU labelling requirements
- Market-ready packaging for multi-country distribution
