Cosmetic Regulatory Compliance Navigator
Audit cosmetic formulations against FDA, EU, and regional compliance requirements
What You Can Do
This skill guides you through structured compliance audits of cosmetic products across multiple jurisdictions. You input your formulation data, ingredient lists, and marketing claims, then receive a detailed gap analysis identifying prohibited/restricted substances, labeling violations, claim substantiation deficiencies, and missing documentation. It accelerates regulatory risk assessment and helps you build compliant products faster while reducing costly post-launch reformulations.
Features
Example Output
Input: Cosmetic chemist submits sunscreen formulation with UV filters, preservatives, and SPF 50+ claim.
Output:
- ✓ Ingredient Status: Avobenzone approved (EU/FDA), Oxybenzone restricted in EU (reformulation needed for EU market)
- ⚠️ Claim Gap: SPF 50+ requires in vivo SPF testing per FDA or COLIPA guidelines—submitted study only covers SPF 30
- ⚠️ Labeling Issue: EU requires allergen declaration for Limonene; not currently listed
- ✓ Documentation: Stability data present; microbiological testing meets USP <51> standards
- 📋 Action Items: Reformulate with EU-approved UV filter, commission SPF retest, update label, create EU technical file
Input 2: Brand claims "dermatologist-tested" and "hypoallergenic" on moisturizer.
Output:
- ⚠️ Claim Risk: "Hypoallergenic" is unregulated; FDA guidance recommends substantiation testing or consider alternative claims
- ⚠️ Substantiation Gap: "Dermatologist-tested" lacks definition; recommend patch test data with N≥50 and statistical analysis
- ✓ Regional Variance: Claims acceptable in US; EU may require additional biocompatibility documentation
- 📋 Compliance Path: Commission patch test study or revise claims to "dermatologist-recommended" with supportive testimonials

Rapidly develop and balance cosmetic formulations by analyzing how actives, solvents, emulsifiers, and preservatives interact within your system. You can evaluate ingredient compatibility before ordering materials, diagnose why batches fail (separation, crystallization, potency loss), and optimize texture and performance while maintaining stability and regulatory compliance. This skill reduces iteration cycles by catching formulation conflicts early and providing data-driven adjustment recommendations.

Activate Loki Mode to orchestrate a multi-agent team that autonomously takes any product specification—whether a Markdown PRD, GitHub issue, OpenAPI doc, or Jira ticket—and drives it through to deployment. The system makes decisions independently, coordinates across multiple AI providers (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Cline, Aider), and tracks progress through phases while maintaining state and handling failures gracefully.
