What is included in the price, and what is not
Included in £195 per formula
- The CPSR, set up as Annex I of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 lays down: Part A, the product's safety information, and Part B, the safety assessment, signed by a qualified safety assessor.
- The PIF compiled as Article 11 requires: the product description, the CPSR, the method of manufacture with the good manufacturing practice statement, proof of claimed effects where the product needs it, and data on animal testing.
- A label review against the labelling rules in Article 19.
- The ingredient list in INCI names, with the fragrance allergens declared, including those added by Regulation (EU) 2023/1545.
Not included
- Laboratory tests. Stability, preservative efficacy (challenge), SPF and microbiological tests are carried out and priced by a testing laboratory. The CPSR uses their results.
- The CPNP notification. Your EU Responsible Person files it. When Eldris is your Responsible Person, Eldris files it for £99 per CPSR, with the same volume discount.
- The EU & UK Responsible Person. A separate Eldris service: £195 per market, one-off, then from £19.95 a month.
- Variations of an assessed formula: £39.95 each.
How long does a CPSR take?
5–10 working days after Eldris receives your complete documents. That is the turnaround Eldris commits to. It is not a measured average: Eldris's order records do not yet hold the start and delivery dates needed to measure one, so none is published here. The turnarounds other providers publish are in the table below.
Complete documents means, for each formula:
- Full product formula: Quantitative INCI breakdown — every ingredient with exact percentages
- Safety Data Sheets (SDS): For every raw material used in each formula
- Certificates of Analysis: CoA from your ingredient suppliers — confirms purity and composition
- Product photos: Clear images of the finished product and packaging
- Label artwork: Draft or final — we review against Article 19 requirements
Where they exist, also:
- GMP certificate: ISO 22716 from your manufacturer — or a GMP statement if not certified
- Stability test data: Accelerated and real-time stability results if available
- Challenge / PET test: Preservative efficacy testing — required for water-based products
- IFRA certificate: Required for any product containing fragrance compounds
The document checklist explains each one.
What do other providers charge?
Six other providers publish prices or turnarounds for the same documents. Their figures are quoted from their own websites, checked 26 Sep 2026. EUverify's price rises with the number of ingredients and Oxford Biosciences' standard price covers up to 20 ingredients; Eldris charges £195 per formula whatever the number of ingredients.

What do Eldris cosmetics quotes come to?
Every quote the Eldris calculator issues is saved with a reference. Between 8 June 2026 and 23 September 2026 it issued 82 quotes, not counting 24 tests: 47 in pounds on the English pages and 35 in euros on the German, French, Italian and Spanish pages. The two currencies are shown apart and never averaged together.
| Quotes | Number | Average (mean) | Half were at or below (median) | Formulas per quote | Products per quote |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| In pounds, English pages | 47 | £861 | £390 | 3.6 | 8.3 |
| In euros, German, French, Italian and Spanish pages | 35 | €767 | €316.85 | 2.5 | 7.6 |
A quote is the CPSR and PIF price the calculator showed for the formulas and variations entered. It is not a sale, and it leaves out the CPNP filing and the Responsible Person.

Who needs a CPSR, and who files the CPNP notification?
Before a cosmetic product is placed on the EU market, its Responsible Person must make sure it has had a safety assessment and that a cosmetic product safety report is set up as Annex I lays down (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Article 10(1)). The report has two parts: Part A, the product's safety information, and Part B, the safety assessment. Part B must be carried out by a person with a university qualification in pharmacy, toxicology, medicine or a similar discipline, or a course a Member State recognises as equivalent (Article 10(2)).
Only a cosmetic with a Responsible Person designated within the EU may be placed on the market (Article 4(1)), so a seller based outside the EU needs one. The Responsible Person keeps the product information file for ten years after the last batch is placed on the market (Article 11) and notifies the product to the European Commission before it goes on sale (Article 13). The Commission's Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP) is its free online system for that notification.
In Great Britain, the UK rules require a Responsible Person established in the UK, and the product information file must include the product safety report (GOV.UK guidance). Medicines, medical devices and biocidal products are not cosmetics and fall outside the Regulation (recital 6), as does anything meant to be swallowed, inhaled, injected or implanted (Article 2(2)).
Eldris prepares the CPSR and PIF (how the service works) and can be your Responsible Person through Responsible Person (EU & UK). Every Eldris service and its price is on eldris.ai.
Quick answers
How much does a CPSR cost in the UK in 2026?
At Eldris, £195 per formula for the CPSR and PIF together and £39.95 per variation, with 5% off from 4 formulas, 10% from 7 and 15% from 10. The prices other providers publish, checked 26 September 2026, are in the comparison table on this page.
Is the CPNP notification included in the CPSR price?
No. Your EU Responsible Person files the CPNP notification. When Eldris is your Responsible Person, Eldris files it for £99 per CPSR, with the same volume discount.
How long does a CPSR take?
5–10 working days after Eldris receives your complete documents. That is the turnaround Eldris commits to, not a measured average.
Are laboratory tests included?
No. Stability, preservative efficacy (challenge), SPF and microbiological tests are carried out and priced by a testing laboratory. The CPSR uses their results.
Do I need a CPSR if my business is outside the EU?
Yes. Every cosmetic product placed on the EU market needs a safety assessment and a CPSR, wherever the seller is based, and a Responsible Person designated within the EU (Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, Articles 4 and 10).
How these figures were measured
- Eldris prices are read from the site's pricing module when the page is built, so the tables change when the prices do. The volume discount has applied since 1 August 2026 and the CPNP filing price since 14 September 2026.
- Other providers: each figure is quoted from the provider's own website on 26 Sep 2026, with a link. What each price covers differs, and prices change. Providers whose pages publish no price or turnaround, or say they no longer offer the service, are left out.
- Quotes were counted from Eldris's quote records on 26 September 2026, test quotes excluded. Pounds and euros are counted apart.
- Turnaround: 5–10 working days is a commitment, not a measurement.
- Not shown: what customers finally paid, laboratory prices and the price of the separate UK notification.
