Why Choose Cosmetic Safety Solutions’ Bases?

Most ingredient suppliers focus on selling products. Our bases have been developed by us and are exclusive to us. Formulated to provide a premium bath and body range, we give you the competitive edge.

As cosmetic safety assessors, we see where formulations fail, where documentation is incomplete, and where ingredients create compliance issues. That experience shapes the bases we choose to supply.

When you buy cosmetic bases from Cosmetic Safety Solutions, you benefit from:

  • Ingredients selected with CPSR requirements in mind

  • Clear documentation you can rely on

  • Transparent sourcing and product descriptions

  • Direct access to qualified safety assessors

Made Using a Base? Here’s What Comes Next

If you are developing products using these cosmetic bases and intend to sell them, the next step is confirming that your final formulation meets UK cosmetic regulations and is fully documented.

Because we supply bases and write Cosmetic Product Safety Reports, we understand how formulation and compliance connect. This allows us to identify issues early and prevent avoidable delays in your approval process.

What happens next:

  1. We review your base and any additional cosmetic ingredients included in your formulation
  2. We check the documentation and identify anything missing
  3. We tell you if any changes are needed before the assessment
  4. We provide a clear, no-obligation quote for your CPSR

There are no consultancy fees, no hidden costs and no obligation to proceed. When you are ready, contact us to discuss your formulation and CPSR requirements.

Bases FAQs

Do I still need a CPSR if I use a base?

We provide a CPSR with our bases on purchase. However, if you customise the base by adding ingredients such as fragrance or essential oils, a new CPSR will be required for the final formulation.

Can I customise these bases?

Yes, you can customise these bases with your chosen ingredients, provided the final formulation remains compliant with UK cosmetic regulations. Please see the individual base product information for more about how they can be customised. A bespoke CPSR will be needed when adjusting the formula, and we have a range of ready-to-buy CPSRs for the bases with set additions.

Can one CPSR cover multiple products?

If you are using one of our bases and simply adding essential or fragrance oils, we can offer a bespoke package CPSR. Contact our team for more information.
