EU & UK Regulatory Compliance

Cosmetics, food supplements and herbal products for Europe — Responsible Person setup, notifications, novel-food checks and post-Brexit dual compliance handled as one workstream instead of two surprises.

Where this usually starts

  • You are launching a cosmetic or supplement brand into the EU, the UK or both.
  • Your ayurvedic or botanical ingredient may have a novel-food problem and you need certainty before investing.
  • You sold pre-Brexit under one compliance set and now need the UK side fixed.

What we handle

EU Responsible Person & CPNP

RP appointment, Product Information File and CPNP notification under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009.

UK Responsible Person & SCPN

The separate UK notification and UK-based RP the market now requires post-Brexit.

Novel food assessment

Status checks for botanical and ayurvedic ingredients — the single biggest blocker for herbal supplements in Europe.

Supplement notifications

Member-state-by-member-state food supplement notifications and composition checks.

Traditional herbal registration

THMPD pathway assessment where your product is medicinal rather than food.

Labels & claims

Labelling, language requirements and health claims against the EU authorised claims register.

Questions founders ask us

Is one compliance set enough for the EU and the UK?

Not anymore. Since Brexit the UK requires its own Responsible Person and its own notification, alongside the EU set. Brands that ignore this usually find out at a distributor audit or a marketplace delisting.

Can my ayurvedic ingredient be sold in Europe at all?

It depends on its novel-food status: ingredients without significant EU consumption history before 1997 need authorisation, which is long and expensive. We check this per ingredient first — it is the question that decides whether the launch plan is viable.

Does one EU notification cover all member states for supplements?

No. Cosmetics have a single EU notification (CPNP), but food supplements are notified country by country, each with its own composition rules and language requirements. We sequence markets so you launch where friction is lowest.
