Intermediate2h 30m # UK Cosmetics Compliance Course: CPSR & SCPN UK cosmetics compliance since Brexit: the UK Cosmetics Regulation, Responsible Person, CPSR, product information file, SCPN notification and GB/NI differences. Most cosmetics brands discover UK compliance the way it hurts most: a Responsible Person appointed for the EU market who has no standing in Great Britain at all, a formula that was perfectly legal under EU rules the week before a UK statutory instrument banned it outright, or a Northern Ireland shipment rejected because it was notified through the wrong portal entirely. Since Brexit, the United Kingdom no longer simply follows EU cosmetics law — it runs its own, increasingly divergent framework, with Great Britain, Northern Ireland, and the EU now genuinely three separate tracks rather than one. This course teaches UK cosmetics compliance from first principles to complete practical compliance. You'll learn the legal foundation of the UK Cosmetics Regulation and the Office for Product Safety and Standards, exactly how the Windsor Framework splits Great Britain from Northern Ireland into two different rulebooks, the Responsible Person role and why one EU appointment doesn't cover the UK, and the complete pre-market sequence — the Cosmetic Product Safety Report, the Product Information File, and SCPN notification through the UK's own portal. From there, the course goes deep on where UK and EU ingredient rules have already diverged — the 2026 statutory instrument banning a wide list of CMR substances and the UV filter enzacamene, the microplastics restriction gap, and the asynchronous UV filter approval pipelines — plus labelling requirements, the UK's animal testing ban and its 2026 non-animal methods deadline, claims substantiation, and market surveillance and enforcement under OPSS and the Product Regulation and Metrology Act 2025. The closing stretch walks a complete worked example — a skincare brand launching across GB, Northern Ireland, and the EU at once — and turns everything into your own sequenced compliance action plan. Built on Krono's regulatory database and current 2026 guidance on the UK Cosmetics Regulation, SI 2026/23, and OPSS enforcement practice.
