What is CPNP and why is it essential for cosmetic products?
CPNP stands for Cosmetic Product Notification Portal. It is the official European Union online system where cosmetic products must be registered before being sold or marketed. If your product is not properly registered in the CPNP, it cannot legally be placed on the European market.
Why does CPNP registration matter?
Europe enforces some of the strictest cosmetic regulations worldwide. Under Regulation EC 1223 2009, CPNP registration is mandatory. Without it, your products face border rejections, heavy fines, recalls, and possible bans from the market.
Is CPNP registration an easy process?
No, it is not.
Successful CPNP registration requires
Preparing a detailed Cosmetic Product Safety Report
Verifying and documenting all ingredients
Submitting accurate product labeling and marketing claims
Assigning a Responsible Person based in the European Union
Maintaining all records for authorities and audits
Any mistake can cause serious delays, legal penalties, or rejection from the market.
What is a Responsible Person and why is it critical?
A Responsible Person is the legally designated representative in the European Union who ensures your products comply with all cosmetic regulations. Without a Responsible Person, your CPNP registration is invalid. Your products cannot legally be marketed or sold in Europe.
