Introduction
Facial skincare PIF for Face Care documentation places weight on active-ingredient stability data, given the higher active concentrations typical of serums, and for eye serums specifically the same ocular-proximity evidence used across eye-area products.
What Your PIF Includes
- Product description and CPSR cross-reference
- Manufacturing method with GMP statement
- Active ingredient stability test data
- Eye-area exposure evidence, where relevant to eye serums
- Animal testing declaration
Who This Is For
Skincare brands maintaining PIF for Face Care documentation for facial and eye serums, facial oils, tonics or cosmetic waters, whether sold in the UK, the EU, or both.
Legal Framework
- Article 11, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009
- Schedule 34, SI 2019/696
- ISO 22716
- Annex III/V
These legal requirements apply to all cosmetic products and EU markets alike, so a single, correctly structured product information file covers your obligations across both regions.
