Introduction
Bath products are assessed differently to a direct-application cosmetic: exposure is modelled on whole-body immersion and dilution in bathwater, rather than a concentrated dose applied to a specific area. This changes the safe concentration ceiling for fragrance oil, essential oils and active ingredients compared to a leave-on product using the same materials.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II and III
- Whole-body immersion and bathwater-dilution exposure modelling, distinct from direct-application products
- Effervescent reaction safety assessment for bath bombs, including any acid/base reactive ingredients such as citric acid
- Fragrance and essential oil allergen screening against Annex III and current IFRA Standards, covering both fragrance oils and natural essential oil blends
- Mineral salt and any botanical or clay inclusion purity check, alongside solubiliser review (e.g. polysorbate 80) where used to disperse oils in bath and shower products
