Regulatory support

Bringing a cosmetic, chem-tech, or food-grade product to market requires more than a great formulation it requires confidence that every detail meets the standards. At Unaro Nordic, our specialists in legislation, compliance, and quality help ensure that your products fulfill all legal and safety requirements, giving you clarity and reassurance throughout development and launch.

Common regulatory services

Regulatory needs can look very different from one project to the next. Here are some of the most common services we support our clients with — from ingredient reviews to certifications and market registrations.

And if your challenge isn’t listed here, no worries. Our regulatory team is always ready to help you find the right guidance, no matter how specific or unexpected your question may be.

Ingredient compliance

Regulations evolve constantly, and staying up to date can be challenging. As a brand owner, you’re responsible for ensuring your product is safe, compliant, and able to deliver on its promises. 

Our regulatory team reviews and evaluates raw materials to confirm compliance with current legislation and safety criteria. In doing so, we help you select ingredients that are effective, forward-thinking, and approved in your target markets — so you can make informed choices from the start.

Product claims and safety

Clear, compliant claims strengthen both trust and credibility. Our experts support you in crafting evidence-based statements that accurately reflect your product’s benefits while meeting all regulatory requirements. 

To ensure your product is safe for consumers, we also carry out the necessary safety assessments. This helps you avoid unnecessary risks, prevent costly delays, and ensure your product is truly ready for market.

Artwork and label compliance

Packaging plays a vital role — not only in how your product looks, but also in how it meets legal requirements. We support you in ensuring that your product labels and artwork comply with all relevant regulations. If needed, our in-house marketing team can adjust layouts and visuals, while our regulatory specialists verify that every detail meets both legal and market-specific standards.

Third-party labeling

If your brand wants to highlight sustainability, environmental responsibility, or vegan standards, we guide you through the process of obtaining trusted third-party certifications. Our team has long-standing experience with leading labels such as the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, Asthma Allergy Nordic, Vegan Society Trademark, and Good Environmental Choice. We also advise on additional certifications suited to your product category and target markets.

Product Information Files (PIF) and Safety Data Sheets (SDS)

For cosmetic products, we compile and maintain Product Information Files (PIF), covering everything from product descriptions, manufacturing details, to safety assessments and substantiation of claims. 

For technical and chemical products, we prepare Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in accordance with REACH and CLP regulations.

Product registrations

Whether you’re entering local or international markets, we manage product registrations and issue Certificates of Free Sale, giving you a smooth path into global distribution. 

For products developed in our facilities, we can handle all required registrations on your behalf or provide the documentation you need if you prefer to manage the process yourself. Our team has extensive experience with the registration of cosmetics, technical-chemical products, and biocides — particularly within the EU and the United Kingdom.

Certificate of Free Sale

If your products are destined for markets outside the EU, a Certificate of Free Sale may be required. We help gather the necessary information and arrange official stamping through the Chamber of Commerce, making international shipping straightforward and hassle-free.
