The NSF Cosmetics

GMP Program

Demonstrate

the Safety and Quality

of your Cosmetics & Personal Care Products



Emerging U.S. legislation, increasingly

selective consumers, new retailer requirements

(e.g., prohibited chemicals) and manufacturing-

related issues are driving rapid changes to the

$300 billion global cosmetics and toiletries

market.

As a manufacturer in a growing yet increasingly

scrutinized industry, how can your company

stand out from the rest? What steps can you

take to demonstrate the safety and quality of

your products and make your brand the one

chosen first by retailers and consumers alike?

How can you comply with European regulations

while preparing for potential U.S. requirements?

NSF International, an independent auditing,

testing and consulting firm, has developed a

credible yet practical program of services that

retailers and consumers can trust to ensure the

safety and quality of cosmetics, deodorants,

body powders, lotions, sunscreens, perfumes,

cleansing shampoos, and other personal care

items.

At the program’s core is a third-party audit

by NSF to ISO 22716 or a standard Good

Manufacturing Practice (GMP) audit.

Audit Requirements

NSF’s Cosmetic GMP audits include verification of wide-ranging manufacturing activities, including:

Post-Audit

Following the on-site GMP audit, NSF provides a detailed report of the facility’s

compliance against ISO 22716 requirements including a non-conformity summary

which identifies areas of non-compliance and/or vulnerability, both in your facility

and your supply chain. NSF then reviews and verifies corrective actions to ensure

the non-conformities have been adequately revolved.

The NSF Cosmetics Program

The NSF Cosmetics program helps verify that sufficient quality management systems are in place to assure

regulatory compliance and product safety, while identifying potential supply chain risks. The program’s primary

component, the on-site manufacturing facility audit, evaluates compliance to the requirements set forth in

ISO 22716 and based on expectations in FDA’s Guidance on Cosmetic GMPs.
