Cosmetic Regulatory Services in Australia
The growing demand for Personal care products and rising disposable incomes have positioned Australia as a key market for Cosmetic brands. However, understanding Australian Cosmetic regulations requires a deep understanding of the regulatory framework to ensure seamless compliance and successful Cosmetic market entry in Australia. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) regulates Cosmetic product labeling standards or product safety.
Understanding Australia’s Cosmetic Regulatory Landscape
A Cosmetic product is not considered a therapeutic good and is not regulated by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA).
The Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) regulates chemical substances, and each ingredient in a Cosmetic formula must be listed in the AICIS inventory.
AICIS
The ingredients in Cosmetic products are classified as industrial chemicals in Australia and regulated under the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS).
TGA
For products with sunscreen as their primary function, regulations fall under the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), governed by TGA regulations as well as the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) requirements.
AICIS regulates the process for the importation and manufacture (Introduction) of industrial chemicals in Australia. In contrast, TGA regulates primary sunscreens and Cosmetic products making therapeutic claims, ensuring compliance with the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG). Compliance with these Regulatory bodies is crucial to avoiding Cosmetic market entry barriers and ensuring adherence to Australian Cosmetic compliance requirements.
The Cosmetic market entry in Australia is highly innovation-driven, requiring manufacturers to align with market trends. Deviation from approved ingredient lists or formulation techniques can lead to costly rework or product recalls, affecting brand value and revenue.
