HomeCosmetics

A cream, a serum, a shampoo: I check the formula ingredient by ingredient, then I find the lab that makes it.

A cosmetic product is notified on the EU portal before it goes on sale. It needs a responsible person established in the EU and a safety report. Every ingredient is read against the annexes of Regulation 1223/2009: prohibited or restricted substances, colourants, preservatives, UV filters.

One trap among many

“Treats eczema”: the cream becomes a medicine.

A product presented as treating a disease falls under the definition of a medicinal product, whatever its formula. The claim alone changes the rules that apply.

French Public Health Code, art. L. 5111-1

For your project

  • The formula checked ingredient by ingredient against the annexes, at the planned concentrations.
  • Claims reviewed: what a cosmetic may say, and what would make it look like a medicine.
  • Raw materials compared across several suppliers.
  • One brief sent to the shortlisted labs, and quotes you can compare.
  • Labelling reviewed, and support with the notification on the EU portal.

The safety report is drawn up by an assessor qualified in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline. I do not sign it: I plan for it in the timeline from the start.

What you receive

  • A feasibility summary: what passes and what blocks, country by country.
  • Manufacturing quotes you can compare line by line.
  • A print proof reviewed before printing.
  • A product ready to go on the market, with its filings prepared.

The fee covers my work, from studying the project to market launch. It is an estimate: the firm amount is set by quote, after a first conversation. A first round of manufacturer quotes usually takes two to three weeks.

The three other fields

  Food supplements

From capsule to gummy: the formula dose by dose, through to the filing.

  Food products

Bars and drinks: the recipe and its label, Nutri-Score included.

  Animal nutrition

Kibble and treats: the formula species by species, and what the label may promise.

I read every request myself, and I come back to you with what I can do, or with what stands in the way.
