Natural deodorants and handmade balms are booming, and so are customer complaints about underarm rashes. A proper safety assessment is what separates a deodorant people love from one they return. Before your solid deodorant, friction balm or multi-use balm 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 Deodorants & Balms covers solid deodorant sticks, deodorant creams and pastes, deodorant bars, crystal deodorants, solid antiperspirants, anti-chafe and friction balms, and multi-use balms. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What Your Deodorant & Balm Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Underarm conditions. Underarm skin is warm, often freshly shaved and covered by clothing. The assessor considers how these conditions increase irritation risk and absorption.
  • Baking soda levels. Sodium bicarbonate is effective but alkaline, and it's one of the most common causes of deodorant rashes. The assessor reviews your level, pH and directions for use, and can suggest gentler options.
  • Aluminium salts and alum. Antiperspirant aluminium salts are assessed against recognised safe use levels. Crystal deodorants made from potassium alum also contain aluminium, which matters for your claims.
  • Essential oils on sensitive skin. Tea tree, lavender, citrus and other oils are reviewed for allergens, sensitisation and IFRA limits for underarm use.
  • Every area a balm is used. If your balm is marketed for lips, face, hands, cuticles, babies or chafed areas, the assessment must cover every one of those uses, including ingestion from lips and the under-3 assessment for babies.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every ingredient, its function and concentration, including actives, essential oils and allergens.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: pH, melting point, hardness and stability, including graininess and rancidity.
  • Microbiological quality: a justified rationale for anhydrous sticks and balms, or challenge test review for water-containing creams.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material quality, petrolatum refining data where used, and packaging suitability.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: every intended area of use, frequency and intended users.
  • Exposure calculation: exposure values for underarm, body, face, lip or baby use as appropriate.
  • 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: advice such as not applying to freshly shaved or broken skin, patch testing 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 cosmetic deodorant or balm is safe for its intended and reasonably foreseeable use. It can apply to solid deodorants, friction balms and multi-use cosmetic balms. In Great Britain, the safety assessment must be completed before a cosmetic product is made available to consumers.


Yes. Solid deodorants marketed as cosmetic products require an appropriate safety assessment. The CPSR should consider the finished formulation, ingredient concentrations, application area, exposure, intended use and relevant safety information. Deodorants are recognised as a common category of cosmetic products in Great Britain.


Yes. Friction balms marketed for cosmetic purposes require a suitable safety assessment before being placed on the Great Britain market. The assessment should consider how and where the product is applied, frequency of use, ingredient exposure and the reasonably foreseeable use of the finished product.


Yes. A multi-use balm marketed as a cosmetic product requires a safety assessment appropriate to its intended uses. If the product is designed for application to different areas of the body, the CPSR should consider the relevant exposure scenarios and reasonably foreseeable uses.


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 a product is significantly different from another product, 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 have appropriate formal qualifications in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline, or a recognised equivalent qualification. The CPSR should include the assessor's details, proof of qualifications, signature and date, and should be reviewed when new information could affect the safety conclusion.
