Overview
The Mexican cosmetics market is among the largest revenue-generating markets in the world. With growing demand for cosmetic products among the country's youth, the Mexican market projections suggest an increase in demand for these types of products.
Cosmetics do not require registration in Mexico or notification to the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (COFEPRIS) before marketing them in Mexico. However, regulatory requirements must be met. Therefore, challenges related to formulation and label compliance, including product declarations, must be addressed early. For the sale and distribution of cosmetic products in Mexico, foreign manufacturers must designate a local representative/legal representative (LR) to obtain a Notice of Operation and an import permit from COFEPRIS.
With a dedicated global delivery center in Mexico, Freyr has a strong position in handling cosmetic product regulations. Freyr assists manufacturers by providing Regulatory Intelligence services that can guide them in choosing products appropriate to local interests. Other Freyr offerings for cosmetic product regulation in Mexico include obtaining a Notice of Operation, cosmetic formulation review, cosmetic label review, cosmetic claims review, and obtaining an import permit for ongoing compliance.
