What is Mellows Marks?

Mellows Marks is a preparation tool that helps indie beauty founders check their cosmetic formula ingredients against UK and EU regulatory databases. It flags banned or restricted ingredients and concentration limit issues before you go through your official safety assessment.

Is Mellows Marks a legal compliance service?

No. Mellows Marks is a preparation tool — not a legal service. You will still need a qualified safety assessor to carry out a Cosmetic Product Safety Report (CPSR) before launching any product to market. Mellows Marks helps you get ready for that process.

What regulations does Mellows Marks check against?

We check against UK and EU cosmetic regulations including banned and restricted ingredient lists and concentration limits.

How many ingredients are in the database?

Over 7,500 regulated cosmetic ingredients across UK and EU markets.

Is my formula data kept private?

Yes. Your formulas are your intellectual property. We never sell, share, or use your ingredient lists for any purpose beyond running your audit.

Can I delete my account?

Yes. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time from your settings page.

What's included in the PDF report?
