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

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.

You can transform cosmetic formulation development from trial-and-error into a systematic, science-backed process. This skill helps you evaluate ingredient synergies and identify incompatibilities before bench testing, predict stability challenges based on chemical composition and storage conditions, and navigate regulatory requirements across multiple markets simultaneously. You'll optimize product feel, texture, and performance while maintaining stability, troubleshoot failed batches through root-cause analysis, and document formulations with proper percentages, function codes, and technical rationale.
