- Label creation in compliance with these requirements.
Thus giving you more time to focus on other key aspects of your project, such as developing your sales and marketing strategies.
Launching a cosmetic product on the market
No prior authorisation is required to launch a cosmetic product on the French or European markets. However, the Responsible Person of market launch must ensure that the product is safe for human health and meets legislative and regulatory requirements.
Launching your cosmetic product therefore requires:
- Notification of the Poison Control Centres, now possible via the new European Cosmetic Product Notification Portal (CPNP),
- The creation of a Product Information File (PIF) (Article R. 5131-2 of the Public Health Code) which must be kept at the address indicated on the label,
- The regular updating of this Product Information File,
- The inclusion of mandatory label information.
Pôle Cosmétique prepares cosmetic Product Information Files following the new European Cosmetics Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, which has replaced the cosmetics directive 76/768/EEC since 11 July 2013.
