Hair removal products are designed to break down hair, and the same chemistry can irritate or burn skin if anything is off. Depilatory creams, hot waxes and body hair bleaches sit among the higher-risk cosmetics on the market, so the safety assessment has to be thorough. Before your 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 Hair Removal Products covers depilatory creams, gels, lotions and mousses, face and bikini-line hair removal creams, hot, warm and film waxes, wax strips, sugar wax and sugaring paste, body and facial hair bleach, and pre- and post-wax products. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What Your Hair Removal Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Thioglycolates and pH. Depilatory creams typically use thioglycolic acid salts, capped at 5% with a pH between 7 and 12.7. The assessor confirms both are within limits and reviews contact time.
  • Mandatory warnings. Depilatories and bleaches must carry specific warnings, such as keeping out of reach of children and avoiding contact with eyes. The assessor confirms your label includes everything required.
  • Sensitive areas. Face, underarm and bikini-line products are used on thinner, more reactive skin. The assessment reflects where your product is intended to be used.
  • Hot wax and burn risk. Wax temperature, melting point and heating instructions are reviewed, along with rosin (colophony), a known skin allergen.
  • Sugaring pastes. Sugar-based pastes are reviewed for microbiological stability, especially if they contain water, honey or lemon juice.
  • Body hair bleach. Hydrogen peroxide levels and persulfate boosters are assessed for irritation and sensitisation, with the correct warnings applied.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every ingredient with its concentration, including actives, fragrance and allergens.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: pH, viscosity, melting point and stability over shelf life.
  • Microbiological quality: challenge test review or a justified rationale for each format.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material purity, rosin specifications and packaging suitability.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: body areas, contact time, heating instructions and intended users.
  • Exposure calculation: exposure values reflecting contact time and areas of use.
  • 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: mandatory depilatory and bleach warnings, patch test advice, application time limits and heating instructions.
  • 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 the safety assessment required for cosmetic hair removal products before they are placed on the Great Britain market. It evaluates the formulation, ingredients, intended use, exposure and other relevant safety information to confirm that the product is safe under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. GOV.UK specifically recognises depilatories as cosmetic products


Yes. Cosmetic depilatory creams and gels require an appropriate safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. The GB cosmetic notification system specifically includes chemical depilatories in cream and gel formats. Their formulation, active ingredients, concentration, pH, application method and expected exposure should be considered as part of the safety assessment.


Yes. Cosmetic depilatory waxes require a CPSR before being placed on the GB market. GOV.UK recognises both resin-based and sugar-based physical depilatory waxes. The assessment should consider the formulation, ingredients, method of application, skin contact and reasonably foreseeable use.


Yes. Cosmetic products intended to bleach body hair require an appropriate safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. The GB notification system specifically lists “Bleach for body hair” as a cosmetic product category. The formulation, bleaching agents, concentration, pH, application method and exposure should be assessed.


The safety assessment requires relevant information including the complete qualitative and quantitative formulation, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, impurities, packaging, normal and reasonably foreseeable use, exposure to the product and its ingredients, toxicological profiles and relevant undesirable effects. Special precautionary information should be provided where required.


Yes. Hair removal products can involve direct and prolonged contact with the skin, and some depilatory formulations contain ingredients that require particular attention to concentration, pH and exposure. The CPSR should assess the finished formulation and its intended conditions of use, including reasonably foreseeable use. Applicable ingredient restrictions and required precautions must also be considered.


This depends on the formulations and characteristics of the products. Different depilatory creams, waxes, bleaches, active ingredients, concentrations, pH levels, fragrances or application methods may affect the safety assessment. A qualified safety assessor should determine whether related variants can appropriately be covered within the same assessment or require separate CPSRs.
