UK OPSS Cosmetic Product Notification Services
Notify your cosmetic products with OPSS in the UK without confusion. We help you handle documents, responsible person requirements, and compliance steps so you can avoid delays and sell your products smoothly.
About OPSS and
Cosmetic Product Notification
The Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) is the UK authority responsible for overseeing product safety, including cosmetic products. As part of UK cosmetic regulations, every cosmetic product placed on the GB market must be notified to OPSS before it reaches consumers.
Cosmetic product notification is a legal requirement, not an optional step. The notification ensures that UK authorities have access to key product and safety information, helping protect consumer health and maintain regulatory oversight.
Modist Global does not act as a regulatory authority. Instead, we provide compliance-focused assistance to help businesses prepare, review, and submit cosmetic product notifications in line with OPSS requirements.
Who Needs OPSS Cosmetic Product Notification
OPSS notification applies to all cosmetic products made available to consumers in Great Britain, including products that are sold, supplied for free, or used by professionals on the public.
This requirement applies to:
Cosmetic Manufacturers
Importers Bringing Cosmetic Products into the UK
Brand Owners Selling Under their Own Label
Distributors Marketing Products Under their Name
Overseas Companies Entering the UK Cosmetic Market
If your cosmetic product is intended for the GB market, OPSS notification is a critical step toward legal market access.
Role of the
Responsible Person
Every cosmetic product notified to OPSS must have a Responsible Person who is established in the UK. The Responsible Person is legally accountable for ensuring that cosmetic products comply with UK cosmetic regulations.
Key responsibilities of a Responsible Person include:
- Ensuring Product Safety before Market Placement
- Maintaining Required Product Documentation
- Ensuring Correct Labeling and Claims
- Submitting Cosmetic Product Notifications to OPSS
- Communicating with UK Authorities When Required
Modist Global can support or act as the UK Responsible Person, depending on your business structure and compliance needs.
What Information Is Required for OPSS Notification
To notify a cosmetic product to OPSS, accurate and complete information must be provided, including:
Product Category and Identification Details
Ingredient Composition and Summaries
Details of any Nanomaterials Used
Information about the UK Responsible Person
Contact Details for Regulatory or ßafety Inquiries
Incomplete or incorrect information can result in compliance issues or regulatory follow-ups. Professional preparation helps reduce risk and ensures regulatory readiness.
