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.

We can assist you to navigate the regulations and protect your business against the risks of product recalls, enforcement actions, competitor disputes and consumer issues.
