Cosmetic Labelling Compliance

Ensure your cosmetic product labels meet all regulatory requirements before placing your product on the market. Our service supports brands in aligning with EU and UK cosmetic labeling requirements.

Cosmetic products sold in the EU and UK must follow specific cosmetic labeling requirements. Certain information must be clearly displayed on the packaging, while other elements — such as non-compliant claims or misleading statements — are not permitted. Both aspects are critical to achieving full cosmetic label compliance.

We perform a detailed review of your product labeling, verifying mandatory elements such as ingredient listing (INCI), nominal content, responsible person details, function, warnings and other. At the same time, we assess claims and presentation to ensure they comply with applicable legislation and do not create regulatory risk. Our cosmetic labelling compliance service identifies gaps, inconsistencies, and non-compliant elements, providing clear, actionable recommendations to ensure your labels are accurate, compliant, and ready for market.

Key benefits:

  • Full cosmetic labelling compliance aligned with Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and UK Cosmetics Regulation (Schedule 34) requirements.
  • Verification of mandatory labeling elements.
  • Review of claims and statements.
  • Clear guidance on corrective actions.
  • Reduced risk of non-compliance and market delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Cosmetic labelling compliance ensures that your product label meets all legal requirements under EU Cosmetic Regulation 1223/2009 and UK Cosmetics Regulation (Schedule 34). This includes both mandatory label information and compliant claims to ensure your product can be legally placed on the market.

Cosmetic labelling requirements in the EU and UK include:

  • The name and address of the responsible person.
  • Nominal content of the product at the time of packaging, given by weight or volume.
  • Date of minimum durability or period after opening.
  • Particular precautions to be observed in use.
  • Batch number of manufacture or the reference for identifying the cosmetic product.
  • Function of the cosmetic product, unless it’s clear from its presentation.
  • List of ingredients (may be indicated on the secondary packaging alone).
  • The country of origin if the product is imported from countries outside of the EU/UK.

All elements must be clearly visible, legible, and compliant with regulatory requirements.

A cosmetic label compliance check includes verification of all mandatory elements, as well as a review of claims and product presentation to ensure full compliance with EU and UK cosmetic regulations.

Non-compliant cosmetic labels can lead to product withdrawal, regulatory action, or delays in market entry.

You will receive a detailed cosmetic label compliance report, including:
