Introduction
Lip products sit closer to the mouth than any other cosmetic category, carrying a real risk of incidental ingestion over repeated daily use. Your cosmetic product safety report applies a stricter exposure and ingredient-safety threshold than a standard skin product as a result, alongside the colourant and stability review every lip format needs.
What Your CPSR Assesses
- Full ingredient toxicological review against Annex II, III and IV, applying an oral-ingestion-adjusted exposure model
- Colourant purity and compliance check against Annex IV, particularly relevant for lipstick and tinted balm pigments
- Flavour and fragrance allergen screening, common in lip balms and gloss formulations
- Physico-chemical stability assessment matched to your format (stick, pot, tube or roller-ball)
- SPF claim flag where a lip product includes UV filters, directing to separate efficacy-testing requirements
