Overview

The Mexican cosmetics market is amongst the top revenue grossers across the globe. With the growing demand for cosmetic products among the country’s youth, the Mexican market projection suggests a rise in demand for cosmetic products.

There is no need for cosmetic registration or cosmetic notification with the Federal Commission for Protection against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) prior to the commercialization of cosmetics in Mexico. Nevertheless, it is necessary to ensure meeting Regulatory compliance requirements. Therefore, challenges pertaining to formulation and label compliance including product claims should be addressed in the early stages. For the sale and distribution of cosmetic products in Mexico, foreign manufacturers must appoint a Local Representative/Legal Representative (LR) to obtain notice of operation and import permit from the COFEPRIS.

Freyr assists cosmetic product manufacturers by providing Regulatory intelligence services that can direct them in making product choices suitable for local interests. Freyr’s other Regulatory offerings for cosmetic products in Mexico include notice of operation, cosmetic formulation review, cosmetic label review, cosmetic claims review, and getting an import permit for the product’s continued compliance.
