Introduction
Scrub and exfoliant PIF for Scrubs documentation holds two distinctive evidence types depending on your product: confirmation of natural, non-microplastic exfoliant material, or for chemical exfoliants pH and AHA/BHA concentration test data supporting your CPSR's conclusion.
What Your PIF Includes
- Product description and CPSR cross-reference
- Manufacturing method with GMP statement
- Exfoliant material documentation (natural-material confirmation, or AHA/BHA pH test data)
- Fragrance allergen documentation
- Animal testing declaration
Who This Is For
Bodycare and skincare brands maintaining PIF for Scrubs documentation for sugar/salt scrubs, foaming scrubs, lip scrubs or acid exfoliants, sold in the UK or the EU.
Legal Framework
- Article 11, Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009
- Schedule 34, SI 2019/696
- ISO 22716
- Annex III
- Regulation (EU) 2023/2055
A product information file is required for all cosmetic products under these legal requirements, and Spectra structures each file with the specific regulatory information your Responsible Person needs on hand.
