UK SCPN Product Notification Service
Planning to sell cosmetic products in Great Britain (England, Scotland, and Wales)? Before your products can legally enter the UK market, they must be notified through the UK Submit Cosmetic Product Notification (SCPN) system.
At Cosmetic Compliance Nest, we provide a fast, reliable, and hassle-free UK SCPN Product Notification service for cosmetic brands, manufacturers, importers, private label businesses, and international exporters. Our regulatory specialists handle the notification process to help ensure your products meet UK cosmetic compliance requirements before market placement.
The SCPN system is managed by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) and serves as the official UK cosmetic notification portal. Every cosmetic product placed on the Great Britain market must be notified by a UK Responsible Person before sale or distribution. Failure to notify products may result in regulatory action and enforcement penalties.
What is UK SCPN Notification?
SCPN (Submit Cosmetic Product Notification) is the official UK government notification portal for cosmetic products sold in Great Britain. Following Brexit, SCPN replaced the EU CPNP system for products entering the GB market.
Before a cosmetic product can be legally sold in Great Britain, the UK Responsible Person must submit key product information through the SCPN portal, including product details, ingredient information, responsible person information, product images, and supporting compliance documentation.
SCPN notification is a mandatory legal requirement for cosmetic products such as skincare, haircare, makeup, perfumes, personal care products, nail products, and beauty treatments intended for the UK market.
