In partnership with, and developed in conjunction with, Cosmetic Safety Solutions the Cosmetic Companion program provides you with the following features:

 

• A lye calculator that, not only allows for the lye calculation for your formulations, but also compliance to UK and EU safety regulations. This assures a 'smooth ride' through the assessment process.
   

• A software system that covers not just soaps, but the majority of other cosmetic products
   

• Perhaps most importantly, Cosmetic Companion takes you through the steps of additives or variants.  Other calculators stop with the base recipe, leaving you to manage the more complex area of meeting the requirements of safety regulations.  In this respect Cosmetic Companion is UNIQUE.
  Additives are assessed individually, in combination and in total, thereby making the process very complex to apply to your formulations, and relatively difficult to calculate quantities of additives.  Certainly a blanket percentage rule will not work if you want to pass the assessment process and bring your new product to market.
   

• Cosmetic Companion guides you through this difficult, complex process allowing you to do what you are best at doing - making cosmetics.
   

• From a cost perspective the assessment-ready application form, created by Cosmetic Companion, reduces the workload for the assessors.  This means that Cosmetic Safety Solutions can, in turn, offer you a substantial discount on their services!
   

• Also, if you create a recipe that uses only Bath & Body Base supplied ingredients, there is a bigger discount still, because CSS hold all the necessary ingredient documentation already.
