Do I need GPSR documents to sell Cosmetics and Personal Care in the EU?

If you place Cosmetics and Personal Care on the EU market, GPSR (Regulation (EU) 2023/988) expects a documented risk assessment, a technical file, and a Declaration of Conformity. Marketplaces like Amazon and Etsy ask for them before your listing runs.

What does EUProof generate for Cosmetics and Personal Care?

A risk assessment, a technical file, and a Declaration of Conformity as PDFs, built from your answers. You can add multi-language safety warnings too. You stay responsible for what you submit.

Is this legal advice?

No. EUProof is a documentation tool, not a law firm and not your EU Responsible Person. These pages are drafted from EU primary texts to help you prepare the paperwork, not to replace professional review.
