Adherence to international quality standards is a critical factor in the success of cosmetic products, particularly when entering the international market. Millmax contract manufacturing has first-hand experience of this. We have aligned our manufacturing processes with the requirements of international standards such as GMP and HACCP, ensuring the highest standards of safety, competitiveness and customer trust.
GMP and HACCP certificates are obtained by Millmax
Without proper certification, a company faces a number of risks:
- legal implications and penalties;
- financial losses and diminished customer loyalty;
- inability to export products to countries with strict regulations.
Our experience demonstrates that certification is not merely a mandatory requirement; it is also an effective instrument for enhancing reputation and product quality.
Basic standards for cosmetics certification
We adhere to the highest standards in order to ensure the reliability of our goods. Find below a list of the primary certifications that are recognised worldwide.
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice): ensures rigorous quality control throughout the production process, from raw materials to packaging.
- HACCP: a system designed to control risks and guarantee product safety is of particular importance for products that are ingested, such as dietary supplements.
- COSMOS Organic: certifies the organic origin of the ingredients and the absence of harmful additives.
- Gluten Free: is relevant for gluten-free products, especially in the food industry.
- V-Mark: indicates that the products are safe for vegans and have not been tested on animals.
As a contract manufacturer, we considered GMP and HACCP certificates to be a significant step in our international expansion strategy.
EU requirements for cosmetic products
In order to export our goods to the EU, we are required to comply with a number of strict regulations, including the registration of our products on the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). The mandatory documents include:
- MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) — the safety data sheet contains information on the chemical composition and safe handling of the product.
- CPSR (Cosmetic Product Safety Report) — assessment of the safety of all ingredients and their combinations.
Adherence to these steps not only ensures compliance with legal requirements but also fosters consumer confidence.
Benefits of certification
Certification has become a strategic development tool for us. It provides:
- Consumer trust: certified products evoke more trust.
- Opportunity to enter new markets: certificates open doorways to countries with strict legal regulation.
- Enhanced competitiveness: certification provides a competitive advantage for your goods.
- Procedure improvements: audits help us identify weak points and improve production.
We are proud to have travelled this path and achieved high-quality standards. For us, certification is not only a demonstration of compliance, but also a guarantee of reliability and customer care!
