Thorough review of your cosmetic product formulas. We evaluate the composition, ingredients, and their functionality to ensure they comply with the requirements set by current regulations. This includes identifying potential allergens and recommending suitable alternatives.

LABELLING COMPLIANCE

The label of a cosmetic product is crucial for its marketing. We ensure that your labelling complies with consumer information regulations, including ingredients, warnings, and product properties. We guarantee that your message is clear, and that the presentation adheres to applicable legislation.

CPNP / SCPN REGISTRATION

The CPNP (Cosmetic Product Notification Portal) and SCPN (Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications) registration numbers are fundamental requirements for the marketing of cosmetic products in the European Union and the United Kingdom, respectively. We assist you in the registration process, ensuring that all necessary information is correctly submitted and complies with regulations to facilitate the entry of your products into the market.

SAFETY DOSSIER (CPSR - PIF)

We create the Cosmetic Product Safety Dossier (CPSR), including the safety assessment (PIF) in accordance with legal requirements. This document covers potential risks and mitigation measures. We ensure that each dossier is complete and compliant with regulations, allowing for the safe and effective marketing of your products.

What does it mean to be an RP?

RP stands for "Responsible Person," which is the entity in charge of providing support, authorization, legal compliance, and verification for each product within European territory.

If my company is based outside the EU, can I act as my own RP?

No, in order for a company to be the European Responsible Person in the eyes of health authorities, it is required to be based in a country that is part of the European Union.

Is the RP role only applicable in Europe? What about the United Kingdom?

Yes, with some nuances. The legislation applies to countries within the European Union, but in practice, European countries often require the same regulations as EU-adhering nations. Regarding the UK, since Trending Group has a branch in London, Trending Quality can help establish your brand in the UK by acting as the RP and legalizing your products through obtaining an SCPR registration number.

Do you conduct product testing?

Yes, the legislation requires that every batch of every import be tested both physically, chemically, and microbiologically. At Trending Quality, we work with the best partners to perform this task quickly, efficiently, and at the best price in the Spanish market. We can also manage other mandatory and specific tests, such as preservative efficacy tests (Challenge Test), shelf life tests (Stability Test), and SPF tests (Sun Protection Factor).

Why is it necessary to review my product’s labelling?

European legislation has strict regulations regarding the advertising "claims" that can be used, even on the product's packaging. Certain words are prohibited, and excessive claims are also restricted. Another regulation to comply with is the need to adapt labelling according to national regulations. Depending on the specific country where the product will be marketed, the information must be translated and adapted accordingly. There are additional labelling rules in some countries, particularly regarding recycling. One of the most well-known is the Triman pictogram, mandatory for selling in France.

What is the purpose of the CPNP number?

The CPNP number is a registration number that the RP obtains when the product is registered in the European cosmetic portal, indicating that it complies with the necessary requirements to be sold within the EU. This number is mandatory and is required at customs to accept the merchandise.

What is the PIF?

The PIF (Product Information File) includes a safety assessment of the product, which is part of the CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report). It contains the conclusions of a thorough study conducted by a safety assessor and is mandatory to ensure that the cosmetic product does not pose any risk to human health.
