In the cosmetics sector, specific certifications are required in order to manufacture cosmetic products. This is because the safety and efficacy of these products are essential for offering consumers high-quality cosmetics and a positive overall experience.
Would you like to discover which regulations your brand needs to follow? At MS Lab, we have all the necessary certifications to manufacture cosmetics, and we also comply with every guarantee set by the European Union (EU). In this article, we explain which certifications and regulations are indispensable and why they are so important.
Remember that whenever you have any questions about this topic, our professional team is here to assist you. In our laboratory, we provide you with guidance and support throughout the entire production process, helping out wherever you may need assistance.
Indispensable Certifications and Regulations for Proper Cosmetic Production
Below are the most important certifications and regulations you need for launching your cosmetic line. In our laboratory, we comply with all of them to ensure the highest quality and safety of our products.
1. Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)
The Good Manufacturing Practices certification verifies that cosmetics are produced under the optimum conditions and controls necessary to guarantee product quality and consumer safety.
These rules are consolidated in standard UNE-EN ISO 22716:2008, which is mandatory under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on cosmetic products.
2. Safety and Traceability: Regulation (EC) 1223/2009
Through this regulation, we check that the products we manufacture fulfill specific standards in both composition and labeling. It also clarifies the responsibilities of manufacturers. Furthermore, a technical dossier is required, containing a safety report on each product.
It is important to note that authorities pay very close attention to this regulation when assessing the state and compliance of cosmetic products.
3. Quality Standards for Production: ISO 22716
Another core regulation to know is the standard on production quality, which focuses on quality, control, storage, and distribution during the manufacturing of cosmetics.
At each phase, cosmetics must be carefully supervised and formulated based on strict safety and quality standards in order to ensure the best possible conditions for selling them.
4. Safe Spaces for Manufacturing Cosmetics: ISO 8 – Clean Rooms
When you set out to create your cosmetic line, the environment in which products are manufactured is a critical factor. The clean rooms we use at MS Lab are ideal for production because they minimize contamination risk.
At MS Lab, you’ll find suitable rooms and facilities adapted for cosmetic manufacturing, guaranteeing full safety and protection throughout the production period. We create products that preserve the purity of every formula.
5. Approved for Cross-Border Sales: European Certification (CE)
Are you thinking of selling your cosmetics outside the country? In that case, it’s recommended that you comply with European Certification (CE), which demonstrates that your products meet the EU’s requirements on safety, health, and environmental protection.
Through this regulation, cosmetics can be sold in all EU member nations, which is a substantial commercial advantage for any brand.
6. Ensuring Animal Welfare and Sustainability
An increasingly crucial requirement in cosmetic production is guaranteeing both environmental sustainability and ethical standards. These certifications confirm that our laboratory uses sustainable practices that do not harm nature or biodiversity—an aim that benefits everyone’s future.
- Cruelty-Free: Our cosmetics are manufactured without animal testing, aligning with European regulations and ethical standards.
- FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certification: We ensure that the materials used in our packaging come from responsibly managed sources.
High-Quality Cosmetics That Comply with All Required Certifications
In order for a cosmetic product to be approved for sale, it must go through a thorough process addressing control, safety, and quality, with consumer well-being as a priority. At MS Lab, we follow strict standards for formulation and safety testing in order to deliver effective, safe products to our clients.
Hence, in addition to being a legal requirement, these certifications provide a guarantee for manufacturers, brands, and consumers alike. At MS Lab, we comply with all relevant industry standards to offer high-end products.
