Beauty Product Safety Centre

Cosmetic products placed on the Great Britain market must meet applicable safety, labelling and responsible-person requirements. An imported listing is not automatically safe or marketable.

Three types of advice

Cosmetic beauty education — how to cleanse, moisturise, use makeup, select tools and perform suitable non-invasive at-home activities.
Professional beauty services — techniques that should be performed or reviewed by qualified beauty therapists, hairstylists or nail technicians.
Healthcare — suspected infections, significant skin disorders, severe acne, unexplained hair loss and similar issues for a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist.

Verification statuses

Products move through: Imported → Source checked → Compliance review → Content verified → Approved → Published (or Suspended / Recalled). Unsupported medical claims are never published.

Privacy of photos

Optional photos are never required for basic safety information. Health-related inferences may involve special-category data — keep uploads optional, removable, and purpose-limited. This platform does not use photos for biometric identification.

Always stop and seek advice if

Pain, swelling, pus, fever or spreading redness
Suspected nail or scalp infection
Sudden unexplained hair loss
Severe or scarring acne
