A rules engine you can audit
Compliance verdicts come from a deterministic rules engine. Each obligation carries its citation, along with a trace showing what triggered it and which conditions were evaluated on the way to the conclusion.
Now running design-partner pilots
Cosmetics compliance made clear, safe, and simple.
eldalu takes a cosmetic product through its whole UK and EU compliance lifecycle, from formulation and ingredient checks through the safety dossier and assessor sign-off to label verification and ongoing regulatory watch. Every verdict comes from a rules engine and carries its citation.
- UK SI 2013/1478 & EU 1223/2009, side by side
- Every obligation cited to its article
- Prepares packs and evidence for you to file and sign
How it decides
AI at the edges. A deterministic core. A human in the loop.
AI only reads and explains
The AI in eldalu reads label photos and supplier documents, and answers questions about your own data. It has no say in a compliance verdict.
A human stays in the loop
eldalu never submits to a portal or signs anything on your behalf. The accountable decisions belong to assessors and Responsible Persons, and each sign-off is recorded with who made it, when, and what they attested to.
The lifecycle
The compliance lifecycle, stage by stage.
Each stage feeds the next, and what the platform learns along the way becomes evidence for the stages that follow.
Formulate
Products, SKUs, and a dated formulation version history. Formulas can be built from a raw-material library, with the substance-level INCI list derived automatically from each material's sub-composition.
Evaluate
Every ingredient is checked against Annexes II–VI plus nanomaterial rules, including combined group limits (total parabens, for example) and element-level limits by molar weight. The result is a risk-ranked list of plain-English obligations with citations.
Simulate
Try a reformulation, a new market, or a claim change and see which obligations it would add, resolve, or alter. If you like the result, apply it to the product.
Assemble & sign off
The PIF and CPSR Part A assemble from what the platform already knows; evidence lives in the vault; SCPN and CPNP packs export ready to file. Commission a safety assessor in-app, with a margin-of-safety pre-fill that shows its working, and record the signed CPSR immutably.
Verify the label
Generate a print-ready, cited label brief per market. When the artwork comes back, upload it and vision reads it while the deterministic core diffs it against the same spec the brief was generated from.
Go to market, and stay there
Readiness is derived from evidence the platform holds and closes with a single accountable sign-off. After launch, the regulatory watch and its sell-through clock, the Living CPSR re-assessment triggers, and cosmetovigilance with prepared SUE reports keep the product covered.
In the product
A closer look at how it works.
The engine
From regulation text to plain English
The engine applies the annex entry's conditions to your actual product and concentrations, then writes down what to do about it. The citation is attached, and the trace underneath explains why the rule fired. When something is fine, it says that too.
Obligations
The obligations, tracked one by one
The engine turns the regulation into concrete actions, each with its rule reference: designate a Responsible Person, notify via SCPN, print the INCI list in descending order. You tick them off as they're done. A formulation issue behaves differently, routing you back to fix the formula, because no amount of paperwork resolves a prohibited ingredient.
The journey
One rail from dossier to market
Every product page carries the same journey rail, from the day the dossier opens through evaluation, obligations, the CPSR data pack, and the Product Information File to portal submission and readiness. Each stage shows where it stands, so a blocking issue upstream is visible long before it costs you a launch date.
Portfolio
The client book, rolled up
For a consultant or manufacturer running many clients, the compliance matrix rolls every product up by market: ready, in progress, blocked, or not started, with in-force regulatory changes flagged per client. Each cell drills down to the product behind it and the reason for its status.
The platform
Everything a Responsible Person carries, in one place.
Deterministic engine with quantitative depth
Annexes II–VI plus nanomaterials, the full Omnibus fragrance-allergen set (Reg (EU) 2023/1545, ~80 substances), combined group limits like total parabens, and element limits computed by molar weight, so oral-care fluoride is caught as F even when each compound looks fine.
Raw materials, derived INCI
Model the materials you actually buy: blends, fragrances, and extracts, with supplier docs attached. The substance-level INCI list derives automatically, and where-used shows every product a material touches.
What-if reformulation
Propose ingredient, market, or claim changes and see which obligations they add, resolve, or alter before you commit.
Dossier, PIF & submission packs
PIF assembly, CPSR Part A generation that marks plainly what the assessor still has to complete, an evidence vault, a pre-submission completeness gate, and SCPN/CPNP packs exported as PDF.
Regulatory change watch
A curated, human-reviewed watchlist matched against your actual concentrations, with a sell-through clock per product and Living CPSR re-assessment triggers.
Assessor sign-off, in-app
Commission a qualified safety assessor with scoped access. A margin-of-safety pre-fill (SCCS exposure defaults, cited NOAELs, TTC gap-fill) shows its working for the assessor to adjust and sign. Signing freezes the approved formulation, and drift from it is detected.
Readiness derived from evidence
Every obligation's status is derived from evidence the platform holds, with no manual ticking. One accountable RP sign-off closes it, and readiness withdraws itself if anything re-opens.
Label generate → verify, closed loop
A cited, print-ready label brief per market: vision reads the artwork and the deterministic core diffs the printed label against the same spec, finding by finding, region by region. Competitors that only generate labels don't have the loop.
Cosmetovigilance
Record undesirable effects, prepare Article 23 SUE reports for the competent authority, and watch rate and trend signals per product.
An audit trail an inspector can follow
An append-only log of every compliance-significant event, field-level product change history, and one-click audit-ready export bundles per client or portfolio.
A read-only AI assistant
Ask about your products, dossiers, and outstanding tasks. It looks things up and explains; it can't change anything, and it doesn't give legal advice.
Built for organisations
Multi-tenant isolation, role-based access, client portfolios, and workspace personas for the way you work: consultant, manufacturer, or brand.
Who it's for
Three ways of working, one source of truth.
Manufacturers & labs
Make compliance part of what you sell.
- Hand clients compliance-checked formulations as part of the service, not a disclaimer
- Catch prohibited ingredients and limit breaches at the draft-formula stage, before a batch exists
- Model the raw materials you actually buy once, and reuse them across every product that contains them
- Keep client work separated, with portfolios and access scoped per client
- Hear early when a regulatory change touches a material you use, via where-used
Brand owners
Keep compliance in-house and keep your launch dates.
- Know before you commit whether a formulation can be sold in GB, Northern Ireland, and the EU
- Head off relabelling and recalls: the regulatory watch flags changes that touch your ingredients, with sell-through dates
- Walk into distributor and retailer conversations with a cited dossier rather than a promise
- Test a cheaper or trend-led reformulation in simulation before you spend on it
- Close each market with one accountable sign-off, taken only when the evidence is in place
Consultants & safety assessors
Handle a bigger book without lowering your standard.
- Run every client through the same engine and the same journey, whatever their size
- Let the CPSR Part A pack assemble itself, so your time goes on the assessment rather than the collation
- See every client and market on one compliance matrix, with blocked products surfaced first
- Export an audit-ready bundle per client when an inspector or a customer asks
- Sign off in the platform, with your Article 10(2) qualification and declarations on record
Regulatory coverage
Built on the regulation, not summaries of it.
UK Cosmetics Regulation (SI 2013/1478) and EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, evaluated side by side. The watchlist is curated and human-reviewed, with no scraping and no prediction.
