CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) is the online notification system made mandatory by the EU Cosmetics Regulation No1223/2009
as of July 11th, 2013. Any cosmetic product must be notified on CPNP before being placed on the EU market.
The CPNP notification requires a series of tests : microbial test, stability test, safety test, packaging compatibility test.
Due to its rigid process, many cosmetic companies have not completed the CPNP notification.
Benton products are successfully notified on CPNP and lawfully sellable in the EU.
