A BUILT IN ALGORITHM TO HANDLE THE COMPLEX CALCULATIONS TO MEET UK AND EU SAFETY REGULATIONS

Essential oils are a typical addition to cosmetic products

CHOOSING THE INGREDIENT 

Choose the ingredient from the list and add it to the variant component of your recipe.

 

The list can be filtered by ingredient name, INCI name, supplier or type to make it easier to find the ingredient that you are looking for.

​

CHECKING AGAINST THE SAFETY REGULATIONS

As you add ingredients to the variant, Cosmetic Companion will start evaluating the recipe to conform to assessment safety requirements.

When ingredients do not conform they are flagged as follows:

  • An individual ingredient exceeds the limit in the Safety % column

  • The combined total of similar ingredient exceeds the limit for that type of ingredient

  • The total of all variant ingredients exceeds 10%

  • In the case of non-soap recipes, Cosmetic Companion will also take into account any of these ingredients included in the base recipe.

Cosmetic Companion guides you through the complexities of additives in cosmetic products

There is no blanket percentage, or rule, for the quantity of additives that you can add to your product.

Every recipe must meet UK and EU safety standards to ensure that the product is safe to use.​
