Selling cosmetic products in the UK comes with strict regulatory requirements. Since Brexit, CPNP registrations are no longer valid in the UK. To legally place your products on the UK market, you must submit them through the UK SCPN (Submit Cosmetic Product Notification) portal and appoint a UK Responsible Person (RP).
At WL Aesthetics, we provide a complete service to ensure your products are compliant, safe, and ready for sale in the UK.
Why You Need SCPN Compliance
The UK regulations are clear:
- CPNP is for the EU only
- SCPN is required for the UK market
Without SCPN registration, your products cannot legally be sold in the UK. This can result in:
- ❌ Products being removed from shelves
- ❌ Rejection from retailers and distributors
- ❌ Fines or enforcement action
- ❌ Damage to your brand reputation
By ensuring SCPN compliance, you protect your business and your customers while unlocking access to one of the world’s most valuable cosmetics markets.

FAQ’s
What is SCPN?
SCPN stands for Submit Cosmetic Product Notification. It is the UK’s mandatory notification system for cosmetic products, managed by the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS). Every cosmetic product must be submitted on the SCPN portal before it can legally be sold in the UK.
Do I still need CPNP if I sell in the EU?
Yes. The CPNP portal is still required for selling cosmetic products within the EU/EEA. However, it is no longer valid in the UK. If you want to sell in both markets, you will need dual registrations:
- CPNP for the EU/EEA
- SCPN for the UK
Can my EU Responsible Person act as my UK Responsible Person?
No. Since Brexit, the UK requires that your Responsible Person be based in the UK. An EU-based RP is not valid for the UK market. WL Aesthetics can act as your official UK Responsible Person.
Why is SCPN so important?
SCPN is not just paperwork—it is a legal requirement. It ensures:
- Products meet UK safety standards
- Consumers are protected
- Authorities have the information they need in case of safety issues
Without SCPN, your products cannot be legally sold in the UK.
