Starting from August 3, 2026, all cosmetic products placed on the market in Ukraine must comply with the requirements of the Technical Regulation on Cosmetic Products, approved by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 65 dated January 20, 2021, as well as with other applicable regulatory acts in the field of technical regulation.

According to the regulation, for each cosmetic product marketed in Ukraine, the responsible person is required to prepare a Product Information File (PIF). This file serves as a technical dossier containing complete and up-to-date information and documentation regarding the product, including data on its identification, quality, and safety. The primary purpose of this file is to confirm that the cosmetic product is safe under its intended conditions of use.

The documentation for a cosmetic product, in accordance with the requirements of the Technical Regulation, must include five main sections:

1. Product Description – should contain information that allows for the clear identification of the cosmetic product and links it to the corresponding documentation.
2. Safety Assessment Report– a document resulting from the analysis of potential health risks and the evaluation of the cosmetic product’s safety.
3. Description of Manufacturing Processes and GMP Compliance Confirmation – includes a brief description of the manufacturing process, the equipment and materials used, and a declaration of compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
4. Product Efficacy Substantiation – provides evidence to support any claims made about the product’s effects, as presented on packaging, in advertising, on websites, etc.
5. Animal Testing Information – includes details of any studies conducted by the manufacturer or suppliers during the product’s safety evaluation or development, including ingredients or raw materials, if applicable.

The Product Information File must be kept up to date. It should be revised whenever new scientific data become available, legislation changes, modifications are made to manufacturing processes or raw material suppliers, or new adverse effects from product use are identified.
