Every lip product gets eaten, at least a little. Over a day, small amounts of lipstick, gloss and balm are licked off and swallowed, which is why regulators treat lips differently from the rest of the face. Colourant rules are stricter, waxes and oils need to be properly refined, and flavours and plumping ingredients come under the spotlight. Your Product Information File (PIF) has to show all of this has been checked.

Our PIF for Lip Products covers lip balms, lip care sticks, lipsticks, liquid lipsticks, lip gloss, lip oils, lip stains, lip liners and pencils, lip masks and lip plumpers. We prepare a complete, inspection-ready file that meets UK and EU cosmetic law, so your lip range is ready for retailers, marketplaces and the authorities.

Why Lip 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. Lip products raise some very specific questions:

  • Swallowing exposure. The safety assessment must account for the product that's ingested every day, not just what stays on the skin.
  • Colourants on the lips. Lips are a mucous membrane, and some colourants permitted elsewhere are not allowed there. Every shade must be checked against Annex IV for lip use.
  • Petrolatum, mineral oils and waxes. Petroleum-derived ingredients must come with evidence of full refining, and mineral oil impurities are an active regulatory concern for lip products in particular.
  • Heavy metal traces. Mineral pigments can carry trace impurities such as lead. Supplier data must show levels are technically unavoidable and safe.
  • Flavours, plumpers and cute packaging. Flavoured glosses, tingling plumpers made with capsicum or cinnamon, and balms shaped like sweets or fruit all need extra assessment, especially if children could be attracted to them.

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

What's Included in Your Lip Product PIF

  • Product description: product name, type, finish, flavour, full shade list and intended user, clearly linked to each SKU.
  • Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR): Parts A and B, cross-referenced from your safety assessment, including daily ingestion exposure.
  • Shade-by-shade colourant review: every pigment, lake, pearl and glitter checked against Annex IV for use on the lips.
  • Raw material evidence: refining documentation for petrolatum, mineral oil and waxes, plus heavy metal data for pigments.
  • Flavour and allergen documentation: flavour supplier certificates, sweetener details and allergen breakdown.
  • SPF documentation (where claimed): SPF test reports and UV filter levels for lip balms with sun protection.
  • Microbiological and stability evidence: challenge test results for glosses and liquid formats, or a justified rationale for anhydrous balms and sticks, plus stability and packaging data.
  • Manufacturing method and GMP statement: melting, milling, moulding, pouring and filling processes documented in line with ISO 22716.
  • Claims substantiation: evidence behind wording like "plumping", "long-lasting", "transfer-proof", "24-hour hydration", "repairs dry lips", "vegan" or "natural".
  • 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 lip products such as lip care sticks, lip balms, lipsticks, lip glosses, and lip pencils. It contains the product description, Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), manufacturing and GMP information, claims evidence, and other relevant safety documentation.


Yes. Lipsticks, lip balms, lip glosses, and other cosmetic products applied to the lips require appropriate safety and compliance documentation when placed on the Great Britain market. The Responsible Person must maintain an up-to-date PIF for the product.


A lip product PIF generally includes the product description, Cosmetic Product Safety Report, complete formulation and ingredient information, manufacturing and GMP details, evidence supporting cosmetic claims, and relevant safety documentation. The PIF should be updated whenever important product or safety information changes.


Yes. Before a cosmetic lip product is made available to consumers in Great Britain, its safety must be assessed by a qualified safety assessor. The resulting Cosmetic Product Safety Report forms an essential part of the PIF and considers factors such as ingredients, concentration, stability, packaging, and intended use.


It depends on the formulations and product characteristics. Different lipstick or lip gloss shades may contain different colourants, pigments, or other ingredients. Each product or shade must be appropriately assessed, and significant formulation differences may require separate or updated PIF documentation.


Typically, you will need the complete formulation, ingredient names and concentrations, product description, intended use, packaging and label information, manufacturing details, and relevant safety or testing documentation. Accurate ingredient information is particularly important for products applied directly to the lips.


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 be maintained as a living document and updated when relevant product, formulation, safety, or supporting information changes.
