Parents trust baby products more than almost anything else they buy, and regulators hold them to a higher standard for exactly that reason. A baby's skin is thinner, their skin surface is large compared to their body weight, and their barrier is still developing. EU and UK law specifically requires the safety assessment to give extra consideration to products for children under three. Your Product Information File (PIF) is where you prove that care has been taken.

Our PIF for Baby & Infant Care covers baby washes, shampoos and bubble baths, baby lotions and moisturisers, nappy and barrier balms, baby oils, massage oils and baby wipes. We prepare a complete, inspection-ready file that meets UK and EU cosmetic law, so your products are ready for retailers, pharmacies, marketplaces and the authorities.

Why Baby Products Need a Specialist PIF

Every cosmetic sold in Great Britain or the EU needs a PIF under Article 11 of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 and its UK equivalent. Products for babies and young children come with some of the strictest requirements of any category:

  • A specific under-3 safety assessment. The law requires the safety assessor to consider children under three separately. Exposure calculations must use realistic baby body weights and skin surface areas, with an appropriate safety margin.
  • Preservative restrictions. Some preservatives are restricted or banned in products for young children. For example, propylparaben and butylparaben can't be used in leave-on products for the nappy area of children under three, and salicylic acid has strict conditions.
  • Tighter microbiological limits. Products for children under three are held to stricter microbial limits than standard cosmetics, so challenge testing and clean manufacturing are essential.
  • Nappy rash: cosmetic or medicine? A barrier balm can help protect against nappy rash, but a claim to treat or heal it makes the product medicinal. We check every word on your pack.
  • "Tear-free", "hypoallergenic" and "paediatrician approved". These claims are hugely persuasive to parents, so regulators expect solid evidence behind them.

We cover every one of these points in a single, well-organised document.

What's Included in Your Baby & Infant Care PIF

  • Product description: product name, type, intended age group, rinse-off or leave-on use and variants, clearly linked to each SKU.
  • Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR): Parts A and B, cross-referenced from your safety assessment, with a dedicated under-3 exposure calculation.
  • Preservative and restricted ingredient review: every preservative and restricted substance checked against Annex III and Annex V conditions for young children and the nappy area.
  • Fragrance and essential oil review: allergen breakdown, IFRA certificate and a careful assessment of essential oils, or confirmation of fragrance-free status.
  • Microbiological evidence: challenge test results and finished product microbial limits suitable for products for children under three.
  • Raw material evidence: specifications for oils, butters, petrolatum, zinc oxide and botanicals, including purity and impurity data.
  • Manufacturing method and GMP statement: mixing, emulsifying, filling and wipe impregnation processes documented in line with ISO 22716.
  • Claims substantiation: evidence behind wording like "tear-free", "hypoallergenic", "dermatologically tested", "paediatrician approved", "for sensitive skin", "suitable from birth" or "protects against nappy rash".
  • Animal testing declaration: confirming testing status of the product and its ingredients under Article 18.
  • One inspection-ready file held at your Responsible Person's address and easy to present on request.

A Product Information File (PIF) is a required compliance file for cosmetic baby and infant care products such as baby washes, balms, and moisturisers. It contains the product description, Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), formulation details, manufacturing and GMP information, claims evidence, and other relevant safety documentation.


Yes. When these products are marketed as cosmetics in Great Britain, the Responsible Person must maintain an up-to-date PIF and ensure that the products have undergone the required safety assessment before being made available to consumers.


Yes. Cosmetic products intended for children under three require a specific safety assessment. The assessment should take into account factors such as the intended use, exposure, formulation, and other relevant safety considerations for this age group.


A baby care PIF generally includes the product description, CPSR, complete formulation and ingredient information, manufacturing and GMP details, product claims evidence, packaging and labelling information, and relevant safety documentation. The PIF should be kept up to date whenever relevant product or safety information changes.


Typically, you will need the complete formulation, ingredient names and concentrations, intended use and age group, product packaging and label details, manufacturing information, and relevant testing or safety documentation. Accurate information about intended use is particularly important for products designed for infants.


It depends on the products and their formulations. Baby washes, balms, and moisturisers may have different ingredients, concentrations, application methods, and exposure conditions. Each product must be appropriately assessed, and separate PIFs may be required where the products are materially different.


For Great Britain, the PIF must be retained for 10 years after the last batch of the cosmetic product was placed on the market. It should also be maintained as a living document and updated whenever relevant formulation, safety, or supporting information changes.
