Hair styling covers everything from a gentle pomade to a professional relaxer that can cause serious burns if it's used wrongly. That range is exactly why a good safety assessment matters. Before your gel, wax, hair spray, perm or relaxer can be sold in the UK or EU, it needs a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) signed by a qualified safety assessor, written for the real risk level of your product.

Our CPSR for Hair Styling Products covers hair gels, waxes, pomades, clays, pastes, styling creams and lotions, curl creams, edge control, hair sprays, mousses, sea salt sprays, heat protectants, permanent waves, perm neutralisers, hair relaxers and straightening treatments. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What Your Styling Product Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Leave-on scalp and face contact. Styling products stay in the hair all day and often touch the forehead, hairline and hands. Exposure is calculated for real leave-on use.
  • Perm solutions and thioglycolates. Permanent waves using thioglycolic acid have different limits for consumer and professional use, a controlled pH range and mandatory warnings, including glove instructions.
  • Relaxers and alkaline straighteners. Sodium, potassium, lithium and calcium hydroxide relaxers have strict concentration caps and must warn that they contain alkali and can cause blindness if they reach the eyes.
  • Smoothing and "keratin" treatments. Formaldehyde and ingredients that release it when heated are heavily restricted. The assessor considers how your product behaves with hot tools.
  • Hair sprays and mousses. Aerosol products are assessed for inhalation, propellants and flammability, alongside aerosol dispenser rules.
  • Fragrance allergens. Styling products are often strongly fragranced. Allergens are checked against IFRA limits and the expanded EU labelling list.

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, hardness and stability, including spray performance for aerosols.
  • Microbiological quality: challenge test review for water-based gels and creams, or a justified rationale for anhydrous waxes and pomades.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material purity, propellant information and packaging compatibility.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: consumer or professional use, contact time, heat styling and frequency.
  • Exposure calculation: styling, aerosol or chemical treatment exposure values 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: perm and relaxer warnings, glove instructions, professional-use statements, aerosol and flammability warnings.
  • Reasoning: the scientific justification behind the conclusion.
  • Assessor credentials and signature: signed by a qualified safety assessor, as required by Article 10.

Who This Service Is For

Hair care brands launching a styling range. Barber and men's grooming brands selling pomades, waxes and clays. Textured and curly hair brands.

A Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is the safety assessment required for cosmetic hair styling products before they are placed on the Great Britain market. It evaluates the formulation, ingredients, intended use, exposure and other relevant safety information to demonstrate that the product is safe under normal and reasonably foreseeable conditions of use. Hair products for waving, straightening, fixing and setting are recognised cosmetic product categories in GB.


Yes. Cosmetic hair gels, styling waxes, pomades, pastes and similar styling products require an appropriate safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. The GB cosmetic notification system specifically includes hair styling creams or pastes, pomades, pastes, waxes and styling gels.


Yes. Hair styling lotions, setting lotions, hair sprays and foams or mousses require a CPSR when marketed as cosmetic products. The safety assessment should consider the complete formulation, method of application, frequency of use, intended exposure and reasonably foreseeable use. These product types are specifically included within the GB hair styling categories.


Yes. Permanent wave products require an appropriate cosmetic safety assessment before being placed on the GB market. The assessment should consider the complete system, including reducing agents, any separate components, mixing instructions, application method, exposure and relevant ingredient restrictions. GB cosmetic notification categories include single-component and multi-component permanent wave lotions.


Yes. Cosmetic hair relaxers and straightening products require a CPSR before being made available in Great Britain. The safety assessment should consider the formulation, active ingredients, concentration, pH, application process, exposure and required precautions. Hair straightening and relaxer products are specifically recognised within the GB cosmetic notification system.


The CPSR 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 substances, toxicological profiles and relevant undesirable effects. For permanent waves and relaxers, information about the complete product system and method of use may also be important to the safety assessment.


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