We generate the end-to-end technical documentation your UK Responsible Person requires to finalize Cosmetic Product Safety Reports (CPSR) and execute Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications (SCPN) smoothly.

The RP holds the Product Information File (PIF), oversees the safety assessment by a qualified toxicologist, and executes product registration via the Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications (SCPN) service.

Compliance FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Clear guidance addressing cross-border cosmetics formulation, supply chain logistics, and UK legal compliance.
No. Under post-Brexit UK Cosmetics Regulation, the Responsible Person must be an entity legally established in the UK. Rowe Cosmetics is an overseas manufacturer based in Turkey. We do not act as your UK RP, but we provide all required technical dossiers, quantitative formulas, stability reports, and ISO 22716 GMP documentation directly to your designated UK RP or regulatory consultant.
The SCPN portal submission is executed directly by your UK Responsible Person prior to commercial distribution. We supply the comprehensive chemical analysis, INCI breakdowns, IFRA declarations, and packaging artworks required to complete this notification seamlessly.
Yes. A substantial portion of our production utilizes raw materials certified or eligible for The Vegan Society registration. If UK trademark registration is required for your brand, inform us during the brief stage, and our R&D chemists will ensure that zero animal-derived substances or animal testing are involved throughout the supply chain.
For existing base private label formulations, standard production lead times are usually 4 to 6 weeks from label approval and component arrival. Custom formulations requiring comprehensive challenge and stability testing require additional development lead time before initial commercial scaling.
Yes. To help British brands align with UK Plastic Packaging Tax criteria and consumer sustainability standards, we offer post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastics, glass bottles, and infinitely recyclable aluminium dispensers.
