Cosmetic Notification is a process whereby the company or person responsible for placing a cosmetic product in the local market notifies NPRA in order for the agency to gather adequate information about the product. This is to ensure the cosmetic product complies with regulations and guidelines and is safe to be used by the public.
It is an offense for anyone to manufacture or import a cosmetic product without prior notification to the NPRA.
