What it is

The Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP) is the European Commission's online portal for notifying cosmetic products. Under Article 13 of Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, the Responsible Person notifies each product in the CPNP before it is placed on the EU market. The notification includes, among other things, the product category and name, the Responsible Person, the country of origin for imported products, the frame formulation, the presence of nanomaterials or CMR substances, and the original label with a photo of the packaging.

What we do

  • Act as EU Responsible Person for your cosmetic products (Article 4)
  • Prepare and submit the CPNP notification for each product (Article 13)
  • Update the notification when the label, formula or other notified information changes
  • Collect, review and keep the Product Information File (PIF)
  • Review the label against the mandatory label information (Article 19)
  • Point of contact for competent authorities

Who needs it

Cosmetic products placed on the EU market, whether sold in shops or online. Each product needs a Responsible Person established in the EU and a CPNP notification before it is sold. For products made outside the EU, the importer is the Responsible Person unless another person established in the EU is designated by written mandate (Article 4).

What you provide

  • Full formula (INCI names and percentages)
  • Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), or the data to have one prepared
  • Label artwork and product/packaging photos
  • GMP statement from the manufacturer
  • Other elements of the Product Information File (PIF)

Common problems we help with

  • No CPSR, or a CPSR that does not match the formula
  • Label lacks the Responsible Person name and address
  • Claims that are not supported
  • Marketplace asks for a CPNP reference
  • Formula or label changed but the notification was not updated

How it works

  1. Send the product list, INCI formulas and label artwork (quote form or email)
  2. We check scope and missing documents and send a written proposal
  3. Sign the Responsible Person mandate
  4. We review the CPSR, PIF and label; you correct anything we flag
  5. We submit the CPNP notification and send you the confirmation
  6. We keep the PIF available for authorities and update the notification when something changes
