If you live in Northern Ireland you need to register with both the UK Cosmetics Portal and the EU Portal. Also you need a CPSR for both UK and EU. When submitting your recipes for assessment inform the company who is doing your CPSR that you are from NI and need to add EU toxicological annex to your CPSR this usually will incur an extra fee (usually £50ish)

This will be part of your stability testing. Just do your normal stability tests in your final packaging and that will give you the answers. You can see my videos on stability testing to help you with how and how long to do these for. :)

Hi, thank you for the very informative video. You mention that if you are using white label products you dont need to have a cpsr, can i notify the UK portal without cpsr when im white labelling from another manufacturer but im using my brand? Thanks
@revegacosmetics4 ай бұрын
It depends on how you white label. If it’s with a company who remain RP and you just brand the front, then no you don’t, as the RP will already have it and be responsible for all the regulatory admin. If you are the RP buying completely unlabelled products, then you’d need a CPSR. It all depends on the responsible person info that’s going on the label.

I have an aloevera gel, made in India and approved in the UK by an UK lab ( Due CPSR certification received for the variant). My question is, can I use a sticker to add, UK Contact person - which would be my UK company. The sticker would be on top of the existing tube sticker, which confers all of the labelling requirement as per CPSR. Your guidance on the issue is highly appreciated. Cheers, Lokesh

You’d follow the same process if you import and sell them here, but who did that would depend on who the RP was. If it’s your own brand then you’d be RP and need to do it. If it’s an existing brand you want to resell then they’d need an RP in the UK and would do the regulatory stuff. Importing means there’s ECHA to consider, but only at high volume.
@dragonpai9202 Жыл бұрын
Hi Revega, thanks for this video :-) so good to have all this information only in one place! I wanted to ask you about the sign in the label referring to the best before date/ x months after is opened. If I use the '12 M' in that little container, how can the buyer know the month the product should be used? For example, let's say that a stokist is selling my product and someone is buying it 3 months after I manufactured it. How the buyer can know what is the expiration date if the label is only showing '12 M'? I hope my question makes sense. TIA
@revegacosmetics Жыл бұрын
That date is a PAO (period after opening) date. The shelf life unopened would be longer and it would be your responsibility to stop selling any products that go below the PAO. The customer buying it can reasonably assume a shelf life of 12 months from the moment they take it home if the PAO is 12. If you want to put a use-by date on your products, then that is fine and often preferred by customers. So long as there is some way for them to know how long the product is good for. An example of this would be Lip Gloss. A lot of lip gloss has a 36-month shelf life, but a PAO of 12 months. This means it's good for 3 years, but you wouldn't be able to sell it after 2, as the customer needs their full 12-month period after opening. It's also unlikely that you'd have products sitting around for that long either. If you have someone stocking your products then they should be advised of reasonable unopened shelf life, but as I say, it is unlikely that it would take them so long to sell it that it would be a problem. You'd just need to ensure that your products had undergone stability tests. I hope that makes sense :)

Hello at 4:35 the side note says the products cannot imitate food, if I was to buy a donut bath bomb set would that still be legal? The set is making the bath bombs shaped like donuts and the designs on it can make it look like a strawberry or other flavor donut.
@revegacosmetics6 ай бұрын
If you are buying the kit and making for your own use, not selling then it’s up to you. If something represents food, ie it looks like a cupcake but it’s a flat image type imitation that’s fine, however if it imitates it in such a way that it looks like the real thing, then we can’t do that.
