Toxicological Risk Assessments (TRA)

What is a Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA)?

A Toxicological Risk Assessment (TRA) is a comprehensive safety evaluation designed for non-cosmetic products. It involves a detailed report assessing the toxicological safety of your product’s ingredients and intended use.

Which Products Require a TRA?

We offer TRA services for a wide range of non-cosmetic items, including:

  • Candles
  • Massage oils
  • Cleaning products
  • Bath paints
  • Reed diffusers
  • Room sprays

Products that do not serve a cosmetic function cannot be assessed under a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR), but they are suitable for a TRA. If you’re unsure whether your product qualifies as cosmetic, our Regulatory team is happy to help clarify.

How long does it take?

Our standard turnaround time is up to 10 working days from the receipt of all required documentation.
