The cosmetics sector is constantly evolving and faces many challenges. In France alone, an average of 170 new cosmetic companies are created each year (2022 data). To stay competitive and innovative, it’s essential to be equipped with a powerful and tailored tool.
Whether you’re part of a large cosmetic group or a smaller company, beCPG is the solution for you. Here are 14 great reasons why:
1. Always up-to-date regulatory compliance
As competition increases, new cosmetic regulations are regularly introduced. beCPG is constantly updated in line with changes to regulations around ingredients, labeling, and regulatory documents. This helps you stay compliant and focused on innovation. See our blog: beCPG: Regulatory Compliance Analysis Software.
2. Simplified management of cosmetic formulations
Regulation 1545/2023 (published July 26, 2023) updates EU Regulation 1223/2009 and increases the list of labelable allergens from 26 to 83. beCPG helps you navigate these changes with confidence, thanks to continuously updated data. You can easily manage allergens depending on whether your formula is rinse-off or leave-on, and adjust labeling accordingly.
3. Efficient cosmetic formula specification management
beCPG’s product specifications let you define regulatory requirements or brand-specific criteria. These guide your teams during formulation. Any non-compliance is clearly shown via a visual progress wheel.

4. Automatic labeling generation for cosmetic products
Adapt your INCI lists by region with ease. beCPG supports multiple formats (CTFA, INCI EU/US, INCI MIXED) and can generate them automatically. Manual adjustments are also possible when needed.

5. Streamlined claim management
Claims are key in cosmetic product control. Reports show that many products contain inaccurate claims. With beCPG, you can manage claims with confidence whether automatically calculated or entered manually.

6. Integrated toxicology management
Developing a cosmetic product that meets safety and regulatory standards is a real challenge! beCPG provides quick access to toxicological data on ingredients, which is automatically pulled into your formulas—ensuring safe, compliant products. See our blog: Discover the 2024 updates of the PLM beCPG.

7. Complete packaging management
beCPG structures all packaging data: materials, weights, dimensions, levels (primary, secondary, tertiary), costs, recyclability, etc.
It also tracks regulated substances in packaging (e.g. endocrine disruptors, CMR substances) and their migration rates.
The system consolidates recycling instructions, recycled content rates and environmental claims, then integrates them directly into technical data sheets or regulatory exports like CITEO.

8. Easy cross-team collaboration
Teams involved in product development can collaborate easily using beCPG’s project management module. This allows tracking of validations, raw material approvals, and more.
Teams can also link collaborative sites directly to projects, which makes teamwork smoother.

9. Guaranteed data security
Each team member can collaborate with access only to the data they need. beCPG’s permission management makes it easy to set roles per department. See our blog: Data security through permissions management.
From suppliers to regulatory officers, beCPG ensures traceability through activity logs.
10. Automated generation of regulatory and product specification documents
beCPG PLM automates report generation, including detailed data on raw materials and formulas to support regulatory checks.
See our blog: Automatic generation of data sheets in beCPG.

11. Organized BAT validation
BAT (print proof) approvals are part of the product development workflow. Each BAT is tied to a project with roles clearly assigned (marketing, regulatory, quality, packaging, etc.).
The system automates validation steps, preserves version history and links each BAT to the latest product data.
12. Easy management of the Product Information File (PIF)
The PIF is mandatory for each cosmetic product placed on the EU market (Reg. 1223/2009).
beCPG organizes PIFs in dedicated folders with all required documents: SDS, shelf life studies, toxicology data, packaging specs, artwork, efficacy data, etc. Progress is then easy to track and exporting for audits is simple.

13. All your data searchable and exportable
With beCPG, you can search and export data in just a few clicks by product or in bulk.
You can extract lists of compositions, allergens, packaging materials, claims, labeling info, and more. Need more? beCPG also offers custom exports (see blog: Export your data easily with beCPG).

14. Save time with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
beCPG integrates AI features to speed up daily tasks. The system auto-fills data like product names, descriptions, families, allergens, or organoleptic properties based on previous entries.
AI also helps correct spelling, improve wording, suggest translations, or extract key data from supplier documents.
