Overview
The UAE stands as a dynamic center for the Cosmetic industry where consumers encounter major global brands within a fiercely competitive marketplace. Success for businesses requires traversing the UAE’s intricate regulatory landscape to achieve regulatory compliance with standards governing Cosmetic ingredient safety and labeling as well as product claims. Obtaining market approval and establishing consumer trust necessitates strict compliance with these regulations.
Understanding UAE’s Regulatory Requirements
Cosmetic product registration in the UAE is administered by the Dubai Municipality (DM) and the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA). Dubai Municipality (DM) registration allows the products to be sold in retail chains, while ESMA certification is required to allow products to pass through customs and is required to be imported through UAE ports of entry.
Legal Representation: A Regulatory Mandate:
To register a Cosmetic product in the UAE, companies must obtain a General Trading License and appoint a Local Representative (LR). The LR is responsible for managing regulatory approvals, ensuring compliance with UAE Cosmetic regulations, and facilitating the Cosmetic registration process with Dubai Municipality (DM) and the Emirates Authority for Standardization and Metrology (ESMA).
