Dubai Municipality – Montaji
What is UAE cosmetic product registration?
Cosmetic product registration is a regulatory procedure through which the relevant authority evaluates product information and supporting documentation to determine whether a cosmetic product meets applicable market requirements.
In Dubai, the registration process is managed by Dubai Municipality through its Montaji system.
Key requirements include:
- Cosmetic products subject to registration must be registered before being placed on the Dubai market
- Registration is carried out through an appropriately licensed company or authorized applicant
- Products must comply with applicable ingredient, safety and labelling requirements
- Supporting documents and additional testing may be requested depending on the product category and regulatory assessment
Requirements and procedures may differ depending on the relevant emirate and competent authority.
