What Are Cosmetic Product Responsible Person Services?
Before a cosmetic product can be placed on the UK or EU market, it must comply with the relevant cosmetic regulations. In the UK, products must meet Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 on Cosmetic Products, as retained and amended by the Product Safety and Metrology etc. (Amendment etc.) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019. In the EU, compliance with Cosmetic Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 remains mandatory.
A Responsible Person (RP) must be appointed for each cosmetic product placed on the market. The Responsible Person holds legal accountability for product compliance, ensuring that cosmetic products are safe for human health, correctly labelled, and supported by appropriate technical documentation. Where a UK-based manufacturer or designated Responsible Person is not established, the role may fall to the importer or distributor, unless formally delegated to another party.
Advena provides both Cosmetic Product UK Responsible Person and Cosmetic EU Responsible Person services, offering expert regulatory oversight and cost-effective support to help businesses meet their compliance obligations with confidence.

What our clients say
Advena is the ideal partner for YUYU. Their quick communication, professionalism, and thoroughness make us highly satisfied. We highly recommend their services.
We have developed a great partnership with the team at Advena since we started working together in early 2022. We especially value their honest and straight forward approach to our Medical Device Regulatory needs. What has been most impressive is their ability to really understand what we actually want, while also making regulatory and commercial suggestions that help our business now & for the future. I have been impressed with all my points of contact within Advena and their professional & friendly manner. I am very happy that we have chosen Advena as our Regulatory partner as we move into the next phase of our business growth.
Advena’s friendly, professional and knowledgeable team have been an invaluable resource for us, helping us with our CE & UKCA IVDR transition, ensuring the continuity of compliance that our customers require and rely upon.
Working with Advena meant that we could focus on what we do best - developing cutting-edge AI-driven clinical decision support systems - with full confidence that our products meet the necessary Regulatory and Quality requirements. Professionalism and efficiency of Advena’s consultants allowed us to rapidly enter new markets, whilst prioritising patient safety.
Great customer support from the beginning of the process. The team go the extra mile to assist and provide information. Information provided has been accurate, responses to queries were turned around fast, were clear and where necessary detailed enough for us to make informed decisions.
We’re happy with the service Advena UK is providing us, and would definitely continue using their services.
We are very happy with the service we receive from Advena and from Jessica Ostle and her team. Communication is excellent and always timely. From the UK side everything has worked very well from day one until now. Very happy customers.
They are so kind and the services are so brilliant and active!
I found the process of signing up with Advena and then uploading and approving all our documentation (with respect to the role of UKRP) as quite efficient and well organised with good communication and support throughout the process).
Communications are quick and efficient, notifications of legislation changes are issued when applicable. Liaising with specialists/co-ordinators is painless (in comparison to my experience with other third parties). Advena have been very supportive and patient throughout, in a particular example with recent ‘’Brexit’’ artwork and UK RP changes for our cosmetic products. Internal projects have also been executed where Advena have demonstrated their continuous commitment to assist, engage and deliver. Advena have been a pleasure to collaborate with and their partnership is valued.
