REACH Compliance for Cosmetic Raw Materials: What You Need to Know

REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) is one of the most important regulatory frameworks for companies working with chemical substances and cosmetic ingredients in Europe. Understanding and complying with REACH requirements is crucial for sourcing, manufacturing, and marketing cosmetic products.

At Cosmetic Solutions, we help businesses navigate REACH compliance with expert guidance tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're sourcing new raw materials or reformulating existing products, we ensure every ingredient meets regulatory standards.

REACH is an EU regulation that requires companies to register chemical substances they manufacture or import into the EU. For cosmetic companies, this means ensuring that all raw materials and ingredients used in your products are properly registered and compliant.

Key aspects of REACH compliance include:

• Registration of substances manufactured or imported in quantities over 1 tonne per year

• Safety data sheets (SDS) for all chemical substances

• Hazard assessment and risk evaluation

• Compliance with authorization and restriction requirements

• Proper documentation and traceability

We provide comprehensive REACH compliance solutions:

• Raw Material Assessment: Evaluation of your ingredient suppliers and their REACH compliance status

• INCI Registration: Registration of new cosmetic ingredients with proper nomenclature
