Brand Positioning

Brand owners who worry about compliance at the last moment are at great risk. This comes with negative consequences: a delayed launch or even the release of unsafe cosmetics on the market.

SkinConsult analyses the product early on from its conceptual phase, in order to see which safety and compliance claims can or can’t be made. This way, the released product is not only safe, but also easy to sell.

Always-on Support

Your name on the label does not mean that you have to be the one to answer difficult questions about micro-plastics, friendliness or new legislations.

With SkinConsult you have a team of safety assessors at your disposal who can provide the perfect answer to all those questions. This way, your customers will be even happier with your brand.

Keep your products on the shelves and your end users safe

Your cosmetics are recalled, too, when they turn out to be unsafe. Except when you work with SkinConsult, of course.

Any questions on your side?

What is the average duration to bring a fully compliant product to a market?

This highly depends on the amount of information about the product that is readily available. That is why we split projects in weekly sprints that can be activated on a flexible basis.

On average it takes 4 of these sprints to get a product fully compliant. The biggest bottleneck is whether the product shelf-life was already tested, since this is a test that takes at least 2-4 months.

I was visited by the authorities and my products aren't compliant. What now?

Don’t panic, you won’t be the first. Our team of experts is ready to help you get back on track.

For disapproved products like these we have a special fast-track services to a) find out what the problem is, b) come up with a step-by-step plan to solve the problem and c) actually fixing the problem.

We can also help you communicatie with the authorities, so you’re not going up against them alone.

Why would I have my cosmetics products tested in the first place?

As Responsible Person you are legally obliged to sell safe products. You can prove your products are safe by doing a safety assessment.

This safety assessment needs to be done according to industry standards, so the authorities can check it easily.

Which legislation applies to my cosmetics products?

The basic legislation is the Cosmetic Regulation. This is a European legislation that applies to all cosmetics in Europe, called EC 1223/2009.

The second important piece of legislation is the Cosmetics Claim Regulation EC 655/2013, which states what cosmetic claims may look like.

In addition to these two laws, there are also a number of other legislations that may (in)directly apply, such as the Aerosols Directive 75/324/EEC for cosmetics sold in aerosol cans.
