Small-batch doesn't mean small rules. IFRA limits, EU allergens, label warnings: Alchemis watches them as you build a recipe, so you find out at the bench, not after the batch is poured.
Each craft answers to a different set of rules. Alchemis keeps the relevant ones in view, matched to your ingredients and product category.
Per-category caps for essential and fragrance oils, checked against the amount in your recipe, not a guess.
Restricted substances and their concentration limits for leave-on and rinse-off cosmetics in the EU.
The 80 named fragrance allergens (EU 2023/1545), flagged once they cross the declaration threshold, so the label lists what it must.
Hazard and precautionary prompts for cleaners and scented products, so the safety wording isn't an afterthought.
An advisory list of the fragrance allergens to declare from 0.01%, plus the perfume and preservative wording to always list: the EU Detergents Regulation, kept in view for cleaner labels.
A living Product Information File that compiles the CPSR Part A from your data and tracks the gaps. It compiles, it doesn't certify; Part B still needs a qualified safety assessor.
INCI names carried through from ingredient to recipe to label, so the ordered list writes itself.
Set your own caps per ingredient or category when your market, certifier, or conscience asks for tighter than the law.
The Product Information File is the folder an EU cosmetic is supposed to have behind it. Alchemis builds the readable half from data you already hold, tells you what's still missing, and never pretends to sign it off.
The description, the formula, the label, the batch trail: the readable CPSR Part A, drawn straight from the recipes, labels and batches you keep in Alchemis.
A completeness checklist shows what's still missing. Attach documents per section, mark each one supplied, and watch the audit-readiness climb as the folder fills.
Export the whole dossier as a PDF in EN, FI or ET. It asserts nothing on its own; Part B, the safety assessment, still needs a qualified assessor.
The dossier is a best-effort compilation and a checklist, not a certification. A completed, exportable PIF is not the same as a Cosmetic Product Safety Report signed off by a qualified assessor. Part B, and the sign-off, stay with them. See our full sources & methodology →
Compliance warnings are the easiest place for software to make you feel like you're doing it wrong. We refuse to. Every warning follows three rules.
Red is for deleting your account. A limit you've crossed is amber: worth a look, not a failure.
"Lavender EO at 2.4%, recommended ≤ 2.0%." The specific amount and the specific target, every time.
Every note ends with a way out. "Reduce to 2.0%, or recategorize as rinse-off." Never a dead end.
Alchemis helps you see the limits and keep good records. It isn't legal advice and it doesn't replace a qualified safety assessor or a CPSR where one is required. You stay the maker; we just keep the rulebook open on the bench beside you.
Compliance isn't a separate module you remember to open. It rides along with the recipe builder, the batch wizard, and the label.
