Beard oils, shaving soaps and aftershaves are used on some of the most sensitive skin a man has: freshly shaved, often nicked, and right under the nose. That makes the safety assessment for grooming products more important than most people expect. Before your beard or shaving product can be sold in the UK or EU, it needs a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) signed by a qualified safety assessor.

Our CPSR for Beard and Shaving Cosmetics covers beard oils and serums, beard balms and butters, moustache waxes, beard washes, pre-shave oils, shaving soaps, shaving creams, shave gels and foams, aftershave splashes, aftershave balms and alum blocks. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What Your Grooming Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Freshly shaved skin. Shaving removes part of the skin's protective layer and leaves tiny cuts. Aftershaves and post-shave balms are assessed for higher absorption and stinging, especially alcohol-based formulas.
  • Essential oils near the nose and mouth. Beard oils often rely on cedarwood, sandalwood, clove, cinnamon, citrus and other strong essential oils. Levels, allergens, sensitisation and phototoxicity are carefully reviewed.
  • Beard growth products. Minoxidil is prohibited in cosmetics, and some "growth" ingredients need careful review. The assessor confirms everything in your formula is permitted.
  • Shaving soaps. Tallow, lard and plant-oil shaving soaps are reviewed for free alkali, superfat and lather safety on the face.
  • Aerosol gels and foams. Post-foaming shave gels and foams are assessed for propellants, flammability and safe use.
  • Fragrance in aftershave and cologne. Strongly fragranced products are checked against IFRA limits and the allergens that must appear on your label.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every ingredient, its function and concentration, including essential oils, fragrance and allergens.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: pH or free alkali, oxidation of oils and stability of creams and balms.
  • Microbiological quality: challenge test review for water-based creams and washes, or a justified rationale for oils, balms and soaps.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material quality, propellant information for aerosols and packaging suitability.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: beard, face or shaved skin, frequency of use and rinse-off or leave-on.
  • Exposure calculation: exposure values reflecting face use and application to shaved skin.
  • Toxicological profile: hazard data and Margin of Safety calculations for relevant ingredients.
  • Undesirable effects: any known reactions to the product or similar products.
  • Information on the cosmetic product: supporting data, including claims evidence where relevant.

Part B: Cosmetic Product Safety Assessment

  • Assessment conclusion: a clear statement on whether the product is safe for its intended use.
  • Label warnings and instructions: eye-contact advice, broken-skin precautions, flammability warnings and other required statements.
  • Reasoning: the scientific justification behind the conclusion.
  • Assessor credentials and signature: signed by a qualified safety assessor, as required by Article 10.

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a safety assessment document that demonstrates whether a beard or shaving cosmetic is safe for its intended and reasonably foreseeable use. It can apply to beard oils, beard balms, shaving soaps, shaving creams, shaving gels and aftershave products. Shaving products are recognised as cosmetic products in Great Britain, apart from razors.


Yes. Beard oils and balms marketed as cosmetic products require an appropriate safety assessment before being made available to consumers in Great Britain. The assessment should consider the finished formulation, ingredient concentrations, exposure, intended use and relevant safety information.


Yes. Shaving soaps, creams and gels require a suitable cosmetic safety assessment. The CPSR should assess the finished product, including its ingredients, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, exposure and reasonably foreseeable use.


Yes. Aftershave products marketed as cosmetics require a CPSR before being placed on the Great Britain market. The assessment should take into account how frequently the product is used, the area of application, exposure to the ingredients and any relevant safety concerns.


The CPSR requires information such as the qualitative and quantitative composition, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, impurities, packaging materials, normal and reasonably foreseeable use, exposure to the product and ingredients, toxicological information and known undesirable effects.


This depends on the formulations and product characteristics. Products with different ingredients, concentrations, intended uses or exposure profiles may require separate safety assessments. Where products are significantly different, a new CPSR may be necessary rather than relying on an existing assessment.


The safety assessment must be carried out by a suitably qualified safety assessor. The assessor should hold appropriate formal qualifications in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline, or a recognised equivalent qualification. The CPSR must include the assessor's details, proof of qualifications, signature and date, and should be reviewed when new information could affect the safety conclusion.
