What Is a CPSR?

What Is a CPSR and Why Is It Important?

 

When purchasing handmade cosmetics, you may come across the term CPSR. But what exactly does it mean, and why should it matter to you as a customer?

At Aroma & Glow, product safety is never an afterthought. Every cosmetic product is created with careful attention to both quality and compliance.
What Does CPSR Mean?

 

CPSR stands for Cosmetic Product Safety Report.

It is a professional safety assessment required before a cosmetic product can legally be placed on the UK or EU market.

The report is prepared by a qualified cosmetic safety assessor with expertise in chemistry, toxicology and cosmetic regulations.

 

Why Is a CPSR Important?

A CPSR helps ensure that a cosmetic product is safe when used as intended.

The assessment considers many factors, including:

• all ingredients used in the formulation
• fragrance levels
• potential allergens
• product stability
• intended method of use
• target users
• safety margins for each ingredient

The finished product is reviewed as a complete formulation rather than as individual ingredients alone.

 

Which Products Require a CPSR?

In the UK and EU, cosmetic products require a CPSR before they can be legally sold.

Examples include:

• soaps intended for cosmetic use
• whipped soaps
• body scrubs
• shaving products
• body butters
• creams and lotions
• bath and body products

Home fragrance products such as reed diffusers and wax melts are regulated differently and do not require a CPSR.

 

How Aroma & Glow Uses CPSR Assessments

At Aroma & Glow, cosmetic products are developed using ingredients sourced from trusted suppliers who provide the necessary safety documentation.

Products are assessed according to their intended use and fragrance levels before being offered to customers.

This helps ensure that products are created responsibly and within recognised safety requirements.
Safety and Transparency Matter

Handmade does not mean unregulated.

Responsible cosmetic production involves careful formulation, documentation and safety assessment.

By choosing products that have undergone professional safety assessment, customers can feel more confident about what they are using on their skin.
