Halden Pricing
UK Responsible Person pricing
One fixed yearly fee, based on how many products you sell in Great Britain. Fees are paid upfront and confirmed in a written quote after we have seen your range. Prices are in pounds sterling.
| Plan | Products | Per year | One-off setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | 1 to 2 | £990 | £199 |
| Core | 3 to 8 | £1,690 | £249 |
| Growth | 9 to 20 | £2,890 | £399 |
| Scale | 21 to 40 | £4,490 | £599 |
What counts as a product
A product is one formula. Shades and sizes of the same formula usually count once, as long as they can be notified together. Your quote confirms the count before you pay anything.
What every plan includes
- Formula review. Every ingredient checked against the UK lists of banned and restricted substances, with allergens flagged for your label.
- Label and claims check. Your labels and claims checked against GB rules, with a written list of anything that must change before we notify.
- Government notification. Each product notified on the UK's Submit Cosmetic Product Notifications service (SCPN) before it goes on sale, and kept up to date.
- Product information file. Held in the UK for at least 10 years after the last batch is placed on the market in Great Britain, as the law requires, and produced if the authorities ask for it.
- Regulator contact. We deal with Trading Standards and the Office for Product Safety and Standards, and report serious reactions as the law requires.
- Our UK name and address for your pack.
Extras, only if you need them
| Extra | Price |
|---|---|
| Product added during the year, including a reformulated product | £99 until renewal |
| Safety report coordination | £150 per product, plus the assessor's fee at cost |
| Priority review, started within 1 working day of complete documents (it does not guarantee acceptance) | £300 |
| Extra review rounds on the same change, after the first re-check | £99 per product for each round |
| Incident, recall and run-off work | £95 an hour, paid in advance in 10-hour blocks |
| Two years paid upfront | 10% off |
| Label and claims check by us, if you are not yet a client | £99 per product |
Depending on your products, we may also ask for a security deposit (returned, less anything you owe, within 30 days after the later of 12 months after the arrangement ends and the close of any open incident) or a guarantee from your parent company or owner, and we will say so in the quote. You also cover any bank or currency charges. You also need product liability insurance of at least £1 million per claim covering Great Britain before your products go live.
A worked example
A brand with five face and body products, each with an existing safety report, would be on the Core plan: £1,690 for the year plus a one-off £249 setup fee, so £1,939 in the first year and £1,690 for the second year at today's prices. Renewal prices can rise by up to 10% a year, with at least 30 days' notice. If two of those products had no UK-valid safety report, add £150 each for coordination plus the assessor's own fee.
How paying works
- You sign the mandate and pay before we start our review. Paying accepts the quote and the Client Terms Pack. Quotes are valid for 30 days. We do not offer credit or payment plans, and we never charge or pay interest.
- If, after reviewing your files, we decide we cannot act for you, we refund the annual fee and keep the setup fee. Safety report fees for work already instructed, and a priority review fee once our review has started, are not refunded. Once we have accepted, fees are not refundable, because our legal responsibility starts then. Our key terms page explains the exceptions.
- At renewal we give at least 30 days' notice of your price. It never rises by more than 10% a year unless your number of products changes, and if it goes up you can leave at renewal instead.
What we do not take on
Sunscreens and anything with an SPF claim, skin lightening, hair dyes and relaxers, products made for children under 3, anything claiming to treat a medical condition, nail glues, lash glues, tooth whitening, injectables, anything that may not be a cosmetic, and products with banned substances, restricted substances over their limits, or CMR substances that are not specifically permitted. We cover Great Britain only, not Northern Ireland.
The full terms are in the Client Terms Pack, which we send before you sign. A short summary is on our key terms page. Nothing on this page is legal advice.
