Introduction
As the broadest-application category, body lotions, butters, oils, moisturisers and lotion bars are assessed against a full-body exposure model - the highest total surface area and product volume of any leave-on cosmetic category - which sets the ceiling concentration for any active or fragrance ingredient in the formulation.
What Your CPSR Assesses
• Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II, III and IV
• Full-body exposure and Margin of Safety calculation, reflecting the largest applied surface area among leave-on cosmetics
• Physico-chemical and oxidative stability assessment matched to your specific format (lotion, whipped butter, oil or solid bar)
• Fragrance and essential oil allergen screening against Annex III and current IFRA Standards
• Emulsion or anhydrous system preservation review, appropriate to water content and packaging
