In today’s global cosmetics industry, developing an innovative product is only part of the challenge. Equally critical and often more complex is ensuring that the product meets the legal, safety, and compliance standards of each intended market. This is where Cosmeservice plays a pivotal role.

Headquartered in Spain, with offices in the UK, US, and Canada, Cosmeservice is an international consultancy firm that specializes in cosmetic regulation and compliance. The company supports brands and manufacturers worldwide in navigating regulatory frameworks to ensure their products can be marketed safely and legally across borders.

Simplifying Compliance Across Borders

One of the most significant hurdles in the cosmetics industry lies in the variation of regulatory frameworks between regions. What qualifies as compliant in one jurisdiction, such as the European Union—may not meet the criteria set by authorities in North America or Asia.

Each country or region enforces distinct rules concerning documentation, ingredient safety, product claims, and labelling. Non-compliance can lead to severe consequences such as market entry delays, product recalls, or financial penalties.

Cosmeservice addresses these intricate challenges with confidence and precision. Their team possesses an in-depth understanding of global legislation, offering market-specific guidance that streamlines the compliance journey from start to finish. Whether a brand is expanding into a single market or launching globally, Cosmeservice provides a tailored strategy that ensures efficiency, accuracy, and peace of mind.

Services include:

  • Cosmetic Safety Assessments (PIF & Safety Assessments)
  • Labelling Review and Market-Specific Compliance
  • Product Notification and Registration (EU CPNP, UK SCPN, US Cosmetics Direct-MoCRA, Canada CNF, and more)
  • Responsible Person and US Agent Services
  • Testing (Challenge, Stability & Compatibility, Dermatologically Tested, SPF, Hypoallergenic, etc.)

Through this full-spectrum offering, Cosmeservice positions itself as a comprehensive regulatory ally supporting brands at every stage of compliance.

A Strategic Partner in Product Development

Compliance should not be viewed merely as a regulatory hurdle; when approached correctly, it becomes an enabler of innovation and speed-to-market. Cosmeservice understands this dynamic and engages with clients early in the development process, helping to anticipate and address potential regulatory concerns before they become costly roadblocks.

By assessing ingredients, evaluating claims, and reviewing formulations at the conceptual stage, Cosmeservice enables brands to proceed with confidence. Their early involvement helps reduce time-consuming revisions, allowing clients to maintain momentum from idea to launch.

In an industry where agility and responsiveness are key, Cosmeservice offers a proactive model that enhances decision-making and mitigates risk, converting compliance into a competitive edge.

Global Reach, Local Expertise

What distinguishes Cosmeservice is not only its technical know-how but also its ability to serve as a unified, trusted partner for regulatory needs around the world. By consolidating services under one roof, the company reduces operational complexity, saves valuable time, and minimizes exposure to compliance risks.

This approach is particularly advantageous for smaller companies and independent brands that may lack dedicated regulatory teams. Cosmeservice’s integrated model fills that gap with customized support and responsiveness.

To date, the firm has completed over 500 regulatory projects—many within 48 hours—demonstrating both expertise and efficiency. Their high-touch service, combined with a 100% customer satisfaction rate, reflects a commitment to excellence in a field where attention to detail is essential.

From initial planning through to final regulatory submission, Cosmeservice aligns seamlessly with clients’ operations, offering clarity, reliability, and ongoing support.

Why Compliance Matters More Than Ever

Consumer expectations and regulatory scrutiny are both evolving at a rapid pace. Today’s buyers demand transparency and safety, while regulatory agencies are intensifying oversight in response to new ingredients, environmental concerns, and the surge in e-commerce.

In this shifting landscape, having a specialized compliance partner is more than a convenience, it’s a necessity. Inadequate compliance practices can jeopardize a product’s success and a brand’s reputation. Conversely, companies that prioritize regulatory excellence foster trust, improve brand credibility, and distinguish themselves as responsible industry leaders.

Cosmeservice helps clients not only meet compliance benchmarks but also use them as foundations for building stronger, more sustainable brands.

Regulatory Consultancy with Strategic Impact

Cosmeservice’s mission is clear: to make the regulatory process efficient, navigable, and strategically beneficial, so that cosmetic innovations can confidently reach the global marketplace.

With a multidisciplinary, multilingual team and extensive knowledge across markets, Cosmeservice provides end-to-end support, helping clients turn concepts into compliant, competitive products.

In a sector where compliance, transparency, and safety are non-negotiable, working with a focused regulatory partner is not only practical—it’s essential.
