Introduction
Hand products are reapplied far more frequently than most cosmetics, which changes the exposure calculation behind your safety assessment. Foot products, meanwhile, are applied to skin with a thicker stratum corneum and are sometimes used in occlusive conditions (socks, footbaths). Your CPSR reflects both use patterns accurately for these leave-on products, in line with current EU cosmetic regulations.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II, III and IV
- High-frequency reapplication exposure modelling for hand creams and serums
- Reduced-absorption, thicker-skin exposure modelling for foot creams and lotions, alongside occlusive-use consideration
- Footbath-specific dilution and bathing-exposure assessment, where the product is used in water rather than applied directly
- Fragrance and allergen screening against Annex III for any scented variant
