There are many requirements for cosmetic ingredients under different chemicals legislation, in particular: the Classification, Labelling and Packaging (CLP) Regulation, the Registration, Evaluation and Authorisation of Chemicals (REACH) Regulation, and the Cosmetics Regulation.  It is extremely important for companies within the cosmetics industry to gain knowledge about these frameworks, why they are relevant to cosmetic ingredients and how they apply. 

This e-learning provides a comprehensive training on cosmetovigilance and companies’ related obligations.  This CTPA training gives an overview of company’s recording and reporting obligations in the UK and the EU when a consumer experiences an adverse event, with a particular focus on performing a causality assessment. 

The safety of consumers, and therefore of cosmetic products, is the highest priority of the cosmetics industry, as well as a mandatory regulatory requirement. Article 10 of the UK and EU Cosmetic Products Regulations require that all cosmetic products must undergo a safety assessment by an appropriately qualified safety assessor holding qualifications specified in the Article. Although the qualifications are essential, continuing education in relevant scientific fields such as toxicology helps to ensure robust and competent safety assessment of cosmetic products.

In order to address this need, CTPA has created this e-learning course on 'Safety Assessment for Cosmetic Products'. This course is open to anyone in CTPA member and non-member companies involved in cosmetic product development including, but not limited to, formulation technologists, technical managers, regulatory managers, as well as safety assessors and toxicologists.
