Face care is where active ingredients do their best work, and where a safety assessor has to look most closely. Retinol, vitamin C, acids, brightening agents, essential oils and eye-area formulas all bring real benefits, and real safety questions. Before your serum, facial oil or toner can be sold in the UK or EU, a qualified safety assessor has to confirm it's safe in a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR).

Our CPSR for Face Care covers facial serums, eye serums and eye creams, facial oils, toners, tonics, essences, face mists, rose water, floral waters and hydrosols. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation, with the latest ingredient restrictions built in.

What Your Face Care Safety Assessment Looks At

Face products are applied daily, left on the skin and often used close to the eyes. A thorough assessment covers:

  • Active ingredient levels. Retinol and its esters, alpha-arbutin, arbutin and kojic acid now have specific legal limits under Regulation (EU) 2024/996. Acids, vitamin C and niacinamide are assessed for concentration, pH and irritation potential.
  • Banned skin-lightening ingredients. Hydroquinone, mercury compounds and corticosteroids aren't allowed in cosmetics. Brightening products are checked to make sure every ingredient is permitted.
  • The eye area. Eye serums and creams are used on thin, sensitive skin close to the eyes. The assessor considers eye irritation and whether each ingredient is suitable for the area.
  • Facial oils and essential oils. Citrus oils can cause reactions in sunlight, and many essential oils contain allergens. Oils are also assessed for oxidation and rancidity.
  • Toners, mists and floral waters. Water-based products, especially rose water and hydrosols, are prone to contamination. Microbiological quality and preservation are carefully reviewed.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every ingredient, its function and concentration, including actives, fragrance and allergens.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: pH, viscosity and stability, including oxidation of vitamin C, retinoids and oils.
  • Microbiological quality: challenge test review and microbial limits, with special attention to waters and hydrosols.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material impurities and compatibility with droppers, pumps and airless packaging.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: face, eye area, frequency of use and intended skin types.
  • Exposure calculation: Systemic Exposure Dosage (SED) using face and eye product exposure values.
  • Toxicological profile: hazard data and Margin of Safety calculations for each relevant ingredient.
  • 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: sun sensitivity warnings, patch test advice, eye-area precautions and other required statements.
  • Reasoning: the scientific justification behind the conclusion.

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is a safety assessment document that demonstrates whether a face care product is safe for its intended and reasonably foreseeable use. It can apply to facial serums, eye serums, facial oils, tonics and cosmetic waters. In Great Britain, a CPSR must be completed before a cosmetic product is made available to consumers.


Yes. Facial serums and facial oils marketed as cosmetic products require a suitable safety assessment. The CPSR considers the finished formulation, ingredient concentrations, exposure, intended use and other relevant safety information.


Yes. Eye serums require careful safety assessment because they are specifically intended for use around the eye area. The assessment should consider the formulation, exposure route, frequency of use, ingredients and reasonably foreseeable use of the finished product.


A Face Care CPSR requires information such as the qualitative and quantitative composition, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, impurities, packaging materials, intended use, exposure, toxicological information and any known undesirable effects.


Yes. Facial tonics and cosmetic waters marketed as cosmetic products must undergo an appropriate safety assessment before being placed on the Great Britain market. The assessment should be based on the finished product and its intended and reasonably foreseeable use.


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


The CPSR must be completed as part of a safety assessment carried out by a suitably qualified safety assessor. The assessor must have appropriate formal qualifications in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline, or a recognised equivalent qualification. The assessment should also be reviewed when new information could affect the safety conclusion.
