Cosmetic Compliance & Regulatory Support

Cosmetic Compliance Made Simple

The cosmetics industry moves fast — and so do the regulations. Whether you’re formulating a new product or reviewing an existing range, we help you stay on top of New Zealand and international compliance requirements. Our team supports you from ingredient selection to final product approval.

We start with Ingredient & Formula Compliance, checking your formulation against the NZ Cosmetic Products Group Standard (EPA) and international regulations. We assess ingredient safety, flag restricted or prohibited substances, and recommend compliant alternatives if needed.

Our Labelling & Claims Validation service ensures your product labels are legally sound. From INCI ingredient listings and usage warnings to verifying marketing claims under the Fair Trading Act, we make sure your messaging is both compliant and credible.

Safety, Stability, and Global Market Access

Before you go to market, you need to know your product is safe and effective. We coordinate Product Safety & Stability Assessments through accredited labs, including microbial testing, preservative efficacy, and long-term stability checks. Our risk assessments help you catch issues before they become problems.

If you’re selling internationally, we offer Market Access & Documentation support — including SDSs, Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSRs), and regulatory dossiers — to help your products meet export requirements and gain smooth market entry.
