Your Skincare Formula Ships in 8 Weeks -- or You Pay Nothing
If you're a founder staring at a CPSR quote for £3,200 and a six-month timeline, you've just found the assembly line that cuts both in half.
We take care of formulation, CPSR safety assessment, UK Responsible Person appointment, CPNP/SCPN notification, headless Shopify build, and 3PL integration. You focus on selling skincare.
Your formulation locks. Stability data clears. Your CPSR lands from a UK-certified assessor while your Responsible Person appointment processes in parallel. CPNP and SCPN notifications file. Your packaging prints with full INCI compliance, batch codes, and PAO symbols. Your headless Shopify checkout goes live with Stripe, Klaviyo flows, and Huboo fulfilment wired in. Eight weeks later, your first customer order ships legally -- no Poison Centre rejection, no Trading Standards shutdown, no border seizure. Your skincare brand is revenue-generating and compliant, not stuck in a 6-month CPSR queue burning cash on inventory you can't legally move.
What is holding your current website back?
Common gaps we find in nearly every audit.
How We Build This Right
Every safeguard, built in from Day 1.
UK Responsible Person Appointment
We appoint your UK RP through Biorius UK, Obelis UK, or UK Cosmetic Safety Consultants -- whichever fits your product category and budget. Your RP holds liability and keeps you compliant with UK cosmetics regulation.
CPSR Safety Assessment
Qualified safety assessors from Delphic HSE or Alcyomics produce your Cosmetic Product Safety Report. This covers toxicological risk assessment, stability data review, microbiological challenge testing, and full safety dossier compilation. Nothing gets missed.
CPNP / SCPN Notification
We handle mandatory product notification through both the EU's CPNP portal and the UK's SCPN system. Your products are registered with Poison Centres before a single unit ships.
Headless Shopify on Next.js
Your storefront runs on Next.js with Shopify's Storefront API -- server-rendered, edge-cached, sub-second page loads. Supabase handles auth, customer profiles, and real-time inventory dashboards.
Huboo 3PL Integration
Inventory syncs to Huboo's warehouse in real time via API. Orders flow automatically from checkout to pick-pack-ship, with tracking pushed straight to your customer's inbox. No manual anything.
SEO & Conversion Architecture
Every product page is built for Google: structured data for rich snippets, ingredient schema, review markup, and Core Web Vitals scores above 95. We're targeting skincare buying intent from day one.
