Safety Assessments Services for Cosmetic Brands and Product Developers
What is Safety assessments?
Safety assessments are scientific evaluations that cosmetic labs perform to verify your product won’t cause harm to consumers. These assessments examine each ingredient’s toxicological profile, calculate exposure levels based on product use, and test for skin irritation, sensitization, and eye safety through in-vitro methods or patch testing. Labs typically complete assessments within 2-4 weeks, producing detailed reports that satisfy EU, FDA, and other regulatory requirements for market approval.
Why do you need this service?
Cosmetic labs conduct toxicological reviews for new formulations before market launch, evaluating ingredient interactions and potential allergens to ensure consumer safety. Labs also perform stability testing under various conditions, providing brands with shelf-life data and storage recommendations that prevent product recalls and protect brand reputation.

Safety Assessment Services for Cosmetic Products
Safety assessments form the backbone of regulatory compliance for cosmetic products. Labs on our platform provide toxicological evaluations and risk assessments that meet EU, FDA, and international standards, helping you launch products with confidence.
Core Safety Testing Services
Partner labs conduct safety evaluations through multiple testing methods. They analyze ingredient profiles, check for potential allergens, and assess product stability under various conditions.
Key testing services include:
- Patch testing and irritation studies
- Microbiological challenge tests
- Heavy metal screening
- Preservative efficacy testing
- pH and stability analysis
Most labs complete basic safety assessments within 4-6 weeks, with expedited options available for urgent product launches.
Documentation and Compliance Support
Beyond testing, labs prepare the safety documentation you need for market entry. This includes Product Information Files (PIFs) for EU markets and safety substantiation dossiers for FDA compliance.
Labs also provide:
- Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR)
- Toxicologist-signed safety assessments
- INCI verification and labeling guidance
- Claims substantiation reports
Working with experienced safety assessors saves months of development time and prevents costly reformulation issues. Connect with specialized labs on our platform to get your products tested and certified for your target markets.
Practical Applications of Safety Assessment Services
Safety assessment services form the backbone of responsible cosmetic product development, protecting both consumers and brands through systematic evaluation protocols.
Pre-Market Safety Evaluations for New Formulations
Labs conduct safety assessments for cosmetic formulations before products reach consumers. This includes patch testing protocols, irritation studies, and sensitization evaluations. Teams analyze ingredient interactions using predictive toxicology software and in-vitro methods.
Testing typically spans 12-16 weeks for standard formulations. Labs document results in Product Information Files (PIFs) that meet EU Regulation 1223/2009 requirements. Early-stage assessments prevent costly reformulations and accelerate time-to-market by identifying potential issues during development.
Raw Material Safety Profiling
Cosmetic labs evaluate individual ingredients and raw materials through systematic safety profiling. This process examines purity levels, contaminant screening, and toxicological data review. Labs maintain databases of over 5,000 cosmetic ingredients with detailed safety profiles.
Material suppliers receive comprehensive safety dossiers within 10-15 business days. These profiles include NOAEL values, exposure calculations, and regulatory status across major markets. Proper material assessment reduces formulation risks and supports clean beauty claims.
