Navigate Global Cosmetic Compliance with Confidence: How Melbec Microbiology Supports Your Brand Worldwide
Bringing a cosmetic product to market is challenging enough, but launching it globally adds an entirely new layer of regulatory complexity. Every region has its own safety standards, documentation requirements, banned ingredient lists, and consumer protection expectations. Missing even one detail can delay launches, jeopardise brand reputation, or even halt sales entirely.
That’s where Melbec Microbiology steps in.
With industry‑leading expertise and a comprehensive suite of regulatory services, Melbec helps brands of all sizes ensure their products are safe, compliant, and ready for shelves across the world.
What Is a Global Compliance Check (GCC)?
A Global Compliance Check (GCC) is your product’s passport to international markets. It verifies that your formulation, labelling, claims, and documentation meet the requirements of the region(s) in which you plan to sell.
This isn’t a one‑size‑fits‑all assessment. Melbec builds bespoke regional compliance suites, allowing you to choose exactly which markets your product is evaluated for, including:
- USA (with state‑level regulations such as Prop 65, NY 1,4‑Dioxane limits, Washington Lead Restrictions)
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand
- ASEAN markets
- And many more
This flexibility ensures your compliance strategy grows with your brand.
Why Choose Melbec for Global Compliance?
Melbec’s GCC service is led by one of the UK’s leading safety assessors for global compliance, supported by a team that stays constantly updated on evolving regulations worldwide. Brands benefit from:
- Deep regulatory expertise

- A standard turnaround time of up to 10 working days
This fast, accurate, expertise‑driven approach offers peace of mind, especially for brands working to tight launch deadlines.
CPSRs: Your Essential Foundation for Cosmetic Safety
Before a product can be sold in the UK or EU, it must have a legally compliant Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR). Melbec’s regulatory team has extensive experience conducting full safety and toxicological reviews aligned with EU Regulation EC No. 1223/2009 and UK Schedule 34 regulations.
Melbec’s CPSRs include:
- Toxicological analysis
- Safety assessments
- Review of stability and microbiological testing
- Compliance with permitted ingredient levels
- Expert evaluation (Part B) by qualified assessors
These reports are completed with an average turnaround time of up to 10 working days, helping brands move swiftly and confidently toward launch.
