Prepare a compliant CPSR for UAE cosmetic registration. Ensure safety, labeling, and documentation meet MOHAP & Dubai standards | Product Registration UAE
Understanding Cosmetic Product Safety Files (CPSR) in UAE 2025
If you're planning to register cosmetic products in the UAE, the Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) is one of the most essential documents you must prepare.
What is a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR)?
A CPSR is a regulatory file that evaluates the safety of a cosmetic product before it enters the market. It ensures the product:
Meets safety standards set by the UAE government and GCC regulations.
Is free of banned or restricted substances.
Has proper ingredient concentration levels.
CPSRs are required by Dubai Municipality, MOHAP, and other UAE bodies before product registration can be approved.
Why CPSR Compliance is Mandatory in UAE
Authorities like MOHAP and Dubai Municipality review CPSRs to protect public health. Submitting a complete and accurate CPSR:
Avoids registration rejection
Prevents customs hold-ups
Helps build trust with distributors and retailers
Ensures you're legally protected in case of product recalls or customer complaints
A missing or poorly written CPSR is one of the top reasons cosmetic products are rejected at the registration stage.
Key Elements of a CPSR in UAE
To be accepted in the UAE, your CPSR must include:
1. Product Information
Product name, category, and function
Responsible person or company in UAE
Description of intended use (e.g., rinse-off, leave-on, applied to skin/lips/hair)
2. Ingredient List & Toxicological Profile
INCI names of each ingredient
Concentration percentages
Source, function, and safety data
Assessment of potential interactions between ingredients
3. Manufacturing & GMP Compliance
Manufacturing site address
GMP certification details
Batch traceability and quality control processes
4. Stability & Shelf Life Data
Test results supporting product lifespan
Storage condition details
Accelerated and real-time stability testing summaries
5. Label Review
Arabic-English bilingual label
Mandatory warnings, usage instructions, batch number, and expiry date
Allergen disclosure (where required)
Documentation & Formatting Tips for UAE Compliance
To ensure your CPSR is accepted:
Use clearly structured documents with labeled sections
Avoid submitting scanned images or poorly formatted files
Include all required certificates (e.g., CFS, GMP)
Translate all content into Arabic professionally when needed
Make sure the label sample matches your actual product presentation
A well-organized and professional CPSR improves review speed and lowers the chance of regulatory pushback.
