Cosmetic products are amongst the safest products available to the consumer. They are regulated by strict European laws (specifically the EU Cosmetic Products Regulation 1223/2009) that require cosmetics to be assessed for safety and must be safe for use before they are placed on the market. That assessment must be carried out by a scientific expert, a cosmetic safety assessor, whose qualifications are laid down in the cosmetics laws.
5 Squirrels manufacture all products with conformance of ISO 9001:2015 standards certified for the manufacture and supply of cosmetic products incorporating Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
