Artwork & Labelling Reviews
Submit your cosmetic artwork for our regulatory team to review and provide comprehensive feedback based on Government Notice R.1469, SABS standards, and Advertising Regulatory Board (ARB) codes.
What is an Artwork Review?
As regulatory requirements continue to evolve, it is vital for cosmetic and personal care companies to stay ahead of compliance. Within the South African legal framework, labelling, ingredient nomenclature, claims, and metrology represent critical compliance gates.
Our scientific experts perform an in-depth, line-by-line evaluation of your packaging proof before you print. We deliver a detailed written report itemizing exact changes required.
Key Verification Points:
- INCI ingredient listing order, nomenclature, and fragrance allergen thresholds.
- Claim substantiation compliance with ARB Cosmetic Code Section II.
- Legal Metrology requirements: nominal volume/mass font sizes and placement.
- Mandatory batch codes, responsible person details, PAO or expiry dates.
Who Needs an Artwork Review?
Any brand owner, manufacturer, or importer placing a cosmetic product on the South African market—or applying for a Certificate of Free Sale to export abroad.
