Before a cosmetic can be sold in Europe (31 countries) or in the UK, it needs to be notified on the Cosmetic Product Notification Portal if the product is intended to be sold in Europe and on the Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications if the target market is Great Britain. After the notification, the product will receive a unique number that will allow customs and authorities to identify it clearly. It is usually the Responsible Person who notifies the product on its own CPNP or SCPN Account.

We prepare the entire PIF (product information file) documentation for you. A PIF is a collection of documents describing a cosmetic product. It includes a risk assessment for all substances, signed by a qualified professional. After carrying out all the required studies, each cosmetic product must be reported to the European Commission on the CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal). It is also obligatory to report the person responsible for placing the product on the market. In the case of dealing with food supplements, we prepare all the documentation with the content of individual active ingredients contained in the product. We also review all documentation of input subtances.
