BPOM Updates Provisions on Procedures for the Submission of Cosmetics Notifications

In an effort to protect the general public from cosmetics products that do not meet requirements relating to safety, benefits and quality, as well as to provide guidance in relation to the submission of cosmetic notifications, the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan – “BPOM”) has issued Regulation No. 21 of 2022 on Procedures for the Submission of Cosmetics Notifications (“Regulation 21/2022”).[1] As a consequence of the promulgation of Regulation 21/2022, Regulation of the BPOM No. 12 of 2020 (“Regulation 12/2020”)[2] which stood as the previous legal framework on procedures for the submission of cosmetics notifications (“Notifications”) has now been repealed and replaced.[3]
