UAE cosmetics legislation
UAE Cosmetic Regulatory Representation
Local regulatory support for cosmetic brands entering the UAE market
Cosmetic products marketed in the United Arab Emirates must comply with applicable product safety, labelling and registration requirements.
Depending on the applicable regulatory procedure, cosmetic product registration and related activities involve an appropriately licensed local company, importer or authorized applicant / Local Agent.
CE.way assists international cosmetic brands with UAE regulatory representation, product registration coordination and ongoing compliance support.

Definition
What is a Cosmetic Regulatory Representative in the UAE?
Unlike the European Union, the UAE does not operate under an identical Responsible Person framework established by EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
Instead, regulatory responsibilities are determined by applicable UAE legislation, the relevant authority and the role of the local importer, manufacturer or registration applicant.
In Dubai, cosmetic product registration is managed through Dubai Municipality's Montaji system and MoIAT Certification.
The relevant local applicant may be responsible for:
- Applying for cosmetic product registration
- Providing the required product dossier
- Ensuring that products meet applicable safety and labelling requirements
- Responding to requests from the competent authority
- Maintaining and updating registration information where required
- Obtaining import permits and handling customs clearance
