The meaning of Cosmetics
The Act defines cosmetics as items that people apply to their skin, pour, rub, spray, sprinkle, introduce or apply to their bodies to promote attractiveness, beautify, cleanse, or alter their appearance, according to Section 3. It also includes products made to be used as a cosmetic component.
The licencing or regulating body for the production of cosmetics is a state licencing authority chosen by the respective state governments. The body in charge of controlling the import of cosmetic items is the central licencing authority that the Central Government designates. The Central Licensing Authority that grants the import registration certificate is the Drugs Controller General (India).
How Can I Register My Cosmetics in India?
Even those living in rural areas of India use cosmetics occasionally or even every day. As a result, India’s cosmetics industry is growing since it has the unique ability never to experience a recession. However, a producer or importer must adhere to the regulatory criteria to operate a cosmetic business in India. Before starting a cosmetics business in India, cosmetic makers or importers must get a cosmetic registration or import registration. The Drugs and Cosmetic Rules, 1945 (the “Rules”) and the Drugs and Cosmetic Act, 1940 (the “Act”) govern the registration of cosmetics in India.
