Introduction
Facial skincare typically carries a higher concentration of active ingredients than body products, and sits closer to the eyes and mucous membranes. Your cosmetic product safety report applies the tighter irritancy and photosensitisation threshold this area requires, alongside a careful review of any active ingredient's concentration and stability.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II, III and V, applying the tighter facial-area irritancy threshold
- Active ingredient concentration and stability assessment, relevant to serums with higher active loads
- Carrier oil oxidative stability review for facial oils
- Eye-area exposure consideration for eye serums specifically, at a more conservative concentration ceiling
- Fragrance and essential oil allergen screening against Annex III and current IFRA Standards
