Cutting through the red tape of the cosmetics industry.

The cosmetics industry is competitive, dynamic and subject to regulation.

Before cosmetics can be sold to consumers, manufacturers and suppliers must ensure compliance. This includes manufacturing standards, ingredient and product safety, labelling and packaging, import/export requirements and intellectual property clearance. Once products are made available, ongoing compliance remains paramount, including in relation to advertising, marketing and consumer laws.

Our lawyers specialise in cosmetics law, helping beauty and skincare brands navigate complex regulatory requirements. We provide strategic legal support to protect your business from product recalls, enforcement actions, competitor disputes and consumer complaints.

Whether you’re launching a new formulation, expanding internationally or managing supply chain risks, we offer proactive guidance to ensure compliance with cosmetic regulations, including labelling, safety standards and advertising claims. With deep industry insight and a focus on brand protection, we help cosmetics companies stay compliant, competitive and trusted by consumers.
