Run a scan
Enter your ingredient list (INCI preferred). Minimum 3 ingredients. One per line.
Not legal advice. This scan is a fast risk signal to help you catch obvious Annex red flags and produce a cleaner brief for professional confirmation.
Examples
Real scans render a verdict + an ingredient table + next steps. Wording stays “likely” and prompts what to confirm — no “approved” language.
Example input (INCI)
Aqua Glycerin Niacinamide, 4 Phenoxyethanol, 0.8 Parfum Hydroquinone
Example output (risk signal)
Verdict: High risk — reformulation likely Hydroquinone → Prohibited (Annex II) [high] Phenoxyethanol → Restricted (Annex V) (concentration-dependent) [medium] Parfum → Composite ingredient (allergen + labeling review likely) [low]
Not legal advice. Always confirm with a qualified EU/UK Responsible Person / safety assessor.
Enforcement risk
Annex mistakes can trigger real consequences
Using prohibited ingredients (Annex II) or missing restricted conditions (Annex III/V/VI) can lead to relabel/rework, retailer delisting, customs friction, and market surveillance action. This scan helps surface obvious red flags before you brief an RP or submit CPNP.
What you get in ~2 minutes
Executive summary
Verdict badge + risk level + prompts for what to confirm next.
Ingredient table
For each ingredient: status (Allowed / Restricted / Prohibited / Grey zone), annex anchor when matched, and confidence.
Actionable next steps
Dynamic suggestions: verify concentration, composite fragrance review, preservative stacking prompts, and when to consult an RP before CPNP.
FAQ
Is this a compliance approval?
No. This scan provides regulatory risk signals based on your inputs and our deterministic checks anchored to EU Cosmetics Regulation annex logic. A qualified EU/UK Responsible Person (RP) and/or safety assessor must confirm and document compliance.
Is this legal advice?
No. This is a paid risk scan. Use it to triage and produce a cleaner brief for professional review.
Can I use this for full formula approval?
No. This is an ingredient-level risk signal tool. Use it to triage and generate a clean brief for an RP/safety assessor. For full EU placement you typically need CPSR/PIF and CPNP notification handled by the RP.
