How we put this together

On 16 Oct 2026 we read each vendor’s public pages listed under Sources and saved a dated copy of each. A cell reports what those pages said on that date. It is not a test of the software, and “not found” does not mean the tool lacks the feature. Ask hello@uniquealphabet.com for copies of the pages we read.

Product names and trade marks of other companies belong to their owners and are used only to identify the products compared. No affiliation or endorsement is implied.

Which one suits whom.

  • Coptis

    For R&D and regulatory teams in a cosmetic laboratory that formulate for many markets and want formulation, regulatory data, toxicology and eco-design in one platform.

  • Unique Alphabet

    For a brand or consultancy that keeps the file up to date after the report: supplier documents collected by link, the SDS and packaging record in the same file, the file shared by link, and annex changes matched to your formulas.

Questions about the two.

Does Coptis cover the UK as well as the EU?

Coptis’s pages name a regulatory database of about 100 countries, among them the EU, the US, China, ASEAN and Japan; each bundle includes one or three regulatory zones. Unique Alphabet checks formulas and labels against the rules of the EU, the UK and Türkiye.

Does Coptis write the CPSR?

Coptis Tox builds the formula’s toxicological profile and calculates the margin of safety; Coptis says it supports the safety assessment and does not replace the CPSR. Unique Alphabet drafts the CPSR, Parts A and B, for your assessor to sign.

Can I move my files from Coptis?

Unique Alphabet’s PIF sections accept PDFs, so you can upload the dossiers you already have and paste each formula from a spreadsheet.

Can I use both?

Yes. A laboratory can formulate in Coptis and keep each product’s file, supplier documents and shared links in Unique Alphabet; the PIF sections accept any PDF.
