How safety assessor can help

By leveraging their expertise, safety assessors help cosmetic companies develop safe, effective, and compliant products, thus protecting consumer health and ensuring regulatory adherence.

​

Expertise and Qualifications

Specialized Knowledge: Safety assessors have specialised knowledge in toxicology, dermatology, pharmacology, or a related field, enabling them to understand the complexities of chemical safety and human health.

Regulatory Understanding: They are well-versed in relevant regulations and guidelines, such as the EU’s Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, FDA regulations, and other international standards.

 

Comprehensive Safety Evaluation

Ingredient Assessment: Assess each ingredient’s safety profile, including potential toxicity, irritation, sensitization, and other health effects.

Exposure Calculation: Calculate the systemic exposure dosage (SED) for each ingredient based on product use patterns, ensuring the levels are safe for intended use.

 

Risk Assessment

Hazard Identification: Identify potential hazards associated with the ingredients and the final product.

Risk Characterization: Evaluate the risk by considering the toxicological data and the exposure assessment, ensuring that the product poses no significant risk to consumers.

 

Margin of Safety (MoS)

Safety Margins: Calculate the margin of safety for each ingredient and the overall product, ensuring that it meets or exceeds regulatory safety standards.

Uncertainty Factors: Apply appropriate uncertainty factors to account for variations in human sensitivity and data gaps.

 

Stability and Microbiological Quality

Stability Testing: Review or conduct stability tests to ensure the product remains safe and effective throughout its shelf life.

​

Microbiological Testing: Ensure the product is free from harmful microorganisms and that preservatives are effective.

​

Documentation and Reporting
Safety Report Preparation: Compile the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), documenting all findings, assessments, and conclusions regarding the product’s safety.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensure that the CPSR meets all regulatory requirements and is ready for submission to regulatory authorities if necessary.

​

Labelling and Instructions
Warnings and Instructions: Determine if any specific warnings or usage instructions are needed based on the safety assessment and ensure they are clearly stated on the product label.
Compliance with Labelling Laws: Verify that the product label complies with all relevant labelling regulations, including ingredient lists, claims, and safety warnings.

 

Continuous Monitoring
Post-Market Surveillance: Monitor adverse effects and consumer feedback once the product is on the market, updating the safety assessment as necessary.
Regulatory Updates: Stay informed about changes in regulations and scientific advancements that might impact product safety and compliance.

​

Consultation and Advice
Product Development Guidance: Provide guidance during the product development phase to ensure that safety considerations are integrated from the beginning.
Regulatory Strategy: Advise on the best regulatory strategy for market entry, including necessary testing and documentation.

​

Training and Education
Team Training: Educate and train company staff on safety and regulatory requirements, ensuring that everyone involved in product development understands the importance of safety compliance.
Consumer Education: Provide information to consumers on safe product use, contributing to overall public health.
