The retailer asks for the safety file.The missing COA lands on its lot.

Built for cosmetic and personal-care manufacturers under MoCRA, where safety substantiation, supplier COAs, and every formula change have to stay traceable, and hold up in a retailer audit or an FDA inquiry.

Built for cosmetic and personal-care manufacturers

  • MoCRA
  • ISO 22716
  • 21 CFR 700 / 740
  • 21 CFR 330
  • EU 1223/2009

The decision lives in the thread, not the substantiation folder.

Incumbents track a folder of PDFs. Unifize reconstructs the decision trace across every function a formula or supplier change touched, and every safety claim it rests on.

When the retailer's auditor asks for the file, someone reconstructs it.

The reconstruction always lands on someone. Find your seat, and see what you own when the trace has to hold up at a retailer audit or an FDA inquiry.

Substantiation, suppliers, adverse events, listing. One trace.

Each runs with MoCRA, ISO 22716 and the EU PIF built in. Start with the one that costs you most.

Quality

From the executed batch record to a substantiation file that holds at the retailer audit.

  • CAPA & Effectiveness
  • Batch Record Review
  • Nonconformance / Disposition

Post-Market & Recall

Consumer adverse events triaged against the MoCRA clock, hazard analysis attached.

  • Recall Coordination

Facility registration, product listing and claims kept current as formulas change.

Built to sit beside the systems you already run, not to replace them.

  • Coexistence, not replacement

    Unifize sits alongside the formula PLM, ERP, QMS, and ingredient-compliance tools you already run. It replaces the ungoverned channels where the decision trace goes missing, not your systems of record.

  • Auditable e-signatures

    Every approval is captured as an attributable, time-stamped electronic signature, so the safety substantiation trail is a record a retailer or the FDA can follow, not a reconstruction.

  • Your MoCRA questions, answered directly

    Facility registration and product-listing maintenance, adverse event reporting, and safety substantiation completeness are walked through with your team before anything touches a controlled record.

The moments that start a clock you don't control.

Enforcement and retailer deadlines, not internal outcomes. Each one routes to the process that answers it and the team that owns the response.

The cost is real. It just never lands on a line you can see.

Coordination tax, per company per year

$1.6Mto$16.9M

Paid in chasing, handoffs and rework, one coordination event at a time. No budget line carries it, so nobody owns it. Modeled across 23 companies in the US cosmetics segment.
