Introduction
Eye-area products are assessed to a stricter safety threshold than general facial cosmetics, given their proximity to the eye and mucous membrane, and the elevated microbiological risk associated with repeated applicator contact (particularly mascara). Your cosmetic product safety report reflects this tighter standard across every ingredient and packaging consideration, in line with current cosmetic regulations in the UK and EU.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II, III and IV, applying the tighter ocular-proximity irritancy threshold
- Microbiological quality and preservative efficacy assessment specific to repeated-dip applicator formats (mascara, liquid eyeliner)
- Colourant purity and compliance check against Annex IV for eyeshadow and eye pencil pigments
- Packaging and applicator hygiene review, relevant to contamination risk over the product's in-use life
- Allergen screening for any fragranced eye-area product, at the more conservative concentration ceiling this area requires
