A sunscreen is a promise. When a label says SPF 30, customers trust it to protect their skin, and their children's skin, from sun damage. That's why sun care is one of the most demanding categories for a safety assessor. Only approved UV filters can be used, several have recently been restricted further, and every SPF and UVA claim must be backed by proper testing. Before your sunscreen or self-tan 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 Sun Care Products covers sunscreen creams, lotions, gels, oils, sticks and sprays, SPF moisturisers and lip balms, children's and mineral sunscreens, after-sun products, and self-tan lotions, gels, mousses and drops. Each report is prepared and signed by a qualified safety assessor and written to Annex I of the Cosmetics Regulation.

What Your Sun Care Safety Assessment Looks At

  • Approved UV filters only. Sunscreens can only use UV filters listed in Annex VI, each within its maximum level. Some popular filters, including oxybenzone (benzophenone-3), octocrylene and homosalate, now have tighter limits depending on product type.
  • SPF and UVA evidence. SPF must be measured using recognised test methods, and UVA protection must reach at least one third of the SPF. The assessor reviews your test reports and makes sure your label matches the results.
  • Correct sun protection labelling. Labels must use the official protection categories, from low to very high, include clear application and reapplication instructions, and avoid misleading claims like "sunblock" or "100% protection".
  • Nano mineral filters. Nano titanium dioxide and zinc oxide must be identified, assessed and labelled with "(nano)". Some nano forms aren't allowed in sprays because of inhalation risk.
  • Sprays and inhalation. Spray sunscreens and spray tans are assessed for what users might breathe in, which affects both ingredient choice and concentrations.
  • Self-tan and DHA. Dihydroxyacetone and erythrulose are assessed at your levels, and self-tan products must make clear they don't protect against the sun.
  • Children and babies. Children's sunscreens need an under-3 assessment where relevant, and labels should advise keeping babies out of direct sunlight.

What's Included in Your CPSR

Part A: Cosmetic Product Safety Information

  • Quantitative and qualitative composition: every ingredient with its concentration, including each UV filter checked against Annex VI limits.
  • Physical and chemical characteristics and stability: stability, photostability and pH, plus emulsion and spray performance.
  • Microbiological quality: challenge test review for water-based products, or a justified rationale for anhydrous oils and sticks.
  • Impurities, traces and packaging: raw material purity, nanomaterial characterisation and packaging compatibility.
  • Normal and reasonably foreseeable use: generous whole-body application, reapplication, spray use and intended users including children.
  • Exposure calculation: sunscreen exposure values reflecting high-volume, whole-body use.
  • Toxicological profile: hazard data and Margin of Safety calculations for each UV filter and other relevant ingredients.
  • Undesirable effects: any known reactions to the product or similar products.
  • Information on the cosmetic product: SPF, UVA and water-resistance test reports and other claims evidence.

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: protection category, application and reapplication directions, sun-safety advice, "(nano)" labelling and self-tan warnings.
  • 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 sun care 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.


Yes. Cosmetic sunscreen creams and lotions require an appropriate safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. The CPSR should consider the complete formulation, UV filters, concentration, application method, frequency of use and anticipated exposure to the product and its ingredients. GOV.UK lists sunscreen cream and lotion as recognised cosmetic product categories.


Yes. Sunscreen oils and sticks intended for cosmetic use require a CPSR before being placed on the GB market. The assessment should consider the specific formulation, permitted UV filters, concentrations, application area, frequency of application and reasonably foreseeable exposure. GOV.UK separately identifies sunscreen oil and sunscreen stick as cosmetic product categories.


Yes. Cosmetic sunscreen gels require a safety assessment before being made available in Great Britain. Different gel formulations, including oil-based sunscreen gels, may have different compositions and exposure considerations, which should be assessed as part of the CPSR.


Yes. Self-tanning lotions, creams and gels marketed as cosmetic products require an appropriate safety assessment before being placed on the GB market. GOV.UK specifically lists self-tan lotion/cream and self-tan lotion/gel as cosmetic product categories.


The safety assessment requires relevant information including the complete qualitative and quantitative formulation, physical and chemical characteristics, stability, microbiological quality, impurities, packaging, intended use, exposure information and toxicological profiles of the ingredients. For sunscreen products, the assessment must also consider the UV filters used and their applicable restrictions. Only permitted UV filters listed in the relevant GB Annex may be used, subject to their conditions of use.


This depends on the formulations and characteristics of the products. Different SPF products, UV filter combinations, concentrations, product formats, fragrance compositions or self-tanning formulations 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.
