The prescribed fees are paid to the accountant. The retailer submits the transaction to the Cosmetics Registration Department and a financial receipt. The Cosmetics Study Committee examines the files and requests samples for testing, and the committee’s decision is documented in a letter. The letter is forwarded to the Diwan, who will assign it a number and then deliver it to the merchant. The trading licence can take up to 60 working days from when the file is submitted.

Guidance to importers and producers of cosmetics and medicated cosmetics on the following matters:

  • If products share similar formulas except for colour/s and/or perfume/s, they can undergo the same preservative challenge test.
  • New colours added to already registered products are eligible for administrative registration upon payment of the required fees.
  • For the heavy metals test, inclusion of a lab certificate in the technical file submission is necessary. However, alternatively, a declaration of heavy metal absence can be submitted for handling purposes if a lab test from an approved local facility or a certificate of analysis from the manufacturing company within a 4-month timeframe is obtained.
