Introduction
Hand and foot care PIFs reflect the different exposure models used in the CPSR high-frequency reapplication for hand products, thicker-skin and occlusive use consideration for foot products with manufacturing documentation matched to each format.
What Your PIF Includes

- Manufacturing method with GMP statement
- Exposure-model evidence supporting the frequent-use (hand) or occlusive-use (foot) conclusion
- Fragrance allergen documentation
- Animal testing declaration
Who This Is For

- GMP documentation reviewed against ISO 22716, the recognised UK/EU cosmetic manufacturing standard.
- Claims substantiation flagged and structured, so "proof of effect" is ready before an authority asks for it.
- Held to a single, consistent format your Responsible Person can present at inspection without last-minute assembly.
- Retained and managed for the full statutory 10-year period.
- If your range also spans hair styling products, gift sets or seasonal gift sets and gift cards, we can scope a combined package covering your full product line, not just hand and foot care.
