The reality on the ground
What teams in this space tell us
Fragmented ingredient regulations
Restricted, prohibited, and listed substances vary across EU 1223/2009, FDA, China NMPA, and ASEAN. Manual cross-checks slow launches and miss updates.
CPSR and PIF overhead
Building Product Information Files and safety reports requires aggregating supplier docs, tox data, exposure assessments, and stability studies, often in multiple languages.
Claim substantiation pressure
"Hypoallergenic", "natural", "clean", "cruelty-free" claims face increasing scrutiny. Each requires evidence trails that hold up to retailer audits and regulator inquiries.
