A great product that
can’t reach market
is no product at all.
Every cosmetic product sold in the UAE, GCC, or EU must meet specific regulatory requirements before it can be legally placed on the market — regardless of how good the product is. Skipping or rushing this step leads to import holds, shelf removals, fines, and brand damage.
The requirements differ by market — the UAE has MOHAP registration, the GCC has its own cosmetics technical regulation, the EU requires CPNP notification and a safety assessment, and export markets have their own individual requirements. Managing this across multiple territories is complex without experience.
We bring that experience. Our team has navigated these requirements across all our manufacturing clients — we know what documentation is needed, what timelines to expect, and what mistakes to avoid. For some markets we handle submissions directly; for others we prepare everything your client or regulatory consultant needs to file.
“Regulatory compliance isn’t the exciting part of launching a product. But it’s the part that determines whether you can launch at all.”

Included in all our manufacturing services
Regulatory support is built into every Private Label, OEM, and ODM order — it’s not an add-on. You don’t need to engage a separate consultant.
Where we can take
your product.
We support regulatory compliance across the key markets our clients sell into — with honest clarity about what we handle directly and what we support.
UAE — MOHAP & Montaji Registration
Every cosmetic product sold in the UAE must be registered through Montaji — the UAE’s official product registration platform operated under the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP). We prepare the full registration dossier, guide you through the Montaji submission process, and assist at every step. The account registration and final submission is typically done by or on behalf of the client, but we handle all the preparation and support throughout.
✦ Montaji platform registration support
✦ MOHAP dossier preparation
✦ Ingredient compliance review
✦ Labelling requirements (Arabic & English)
GCC Market Compliance
The GCC Cosmetics Technical Regulation sets requirements for all cosmetic products sold across Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar. We ensure your product meets the technical regulation, restricted substance lists, and labelling requirements for the full GCC market.
✦ GCC Technical Regulation compliance
✦ Restricted & prohibited substance review
✦ Country-specific requirements (KSA, Kuwait, etc.)
EU — CPNP Notification
Products entering the EU market require CPNP (Cosmetic Products Notification Portal) notification and a Product Information File (PIF) including a safety assessment. We prepare the full technical dossier — your EU Responsible Person or regulatory consultant handles the actual submission.
✦ Product Information File (PIF) preparation
✦ CPNP technical documentation
✦ EU Cosmetics Regulation ingredient compliance
Halal Certification Support
Halal certification is increasingly important for brands targeting Muslim-majority markets across the GCC, Southeast Asia, and beyond. We formulate with Halal-compliant ingredients, provide ingredient traceability documentation, and guide you through the certification process with your chosen Halal certifying body.
✦ Halal-compliant formulation
✦ Ingredient traceability documentation
✦ Certification process guidance
Export Market Documentation
Exporting cosmetics requires a set of standard documents — Certificate of Free Sale, Certificate of Origin, CoA (Certificate of Analysis), and MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). We prepare and provide all standard export documentation for every product we manufacture.
✦ Certificate of Free Sale
✦ Certificate of Analysis (CoA)
✦ MSDS & Certificate of Origin
Standalone regulatory support
Our regulatory service is built into all manufacturing orders — but it’s also available standalone for products manufactured elsewhere. If you need help navigating UAE, GCC, or export requirements for an existing product, get in touch and we’ll discuss what’s needed.
✦ Available for products made elsewhere
✦ Scope confirmed before engagement
Regulatory work done
in parallel with production
We don’t leave regulatory work until the product is finished. It runs in parallel — so your registration is ready when your product is.
Market identification
At the start of every project we confirm which markets your product will be sold in. This determines which regulatory pathways apply and what documentation needs to be prepared.
Formula & ingredient review
We review every ingredient in the formula against the restricted and prohibited substance lists for each target market — catching any compliance issues before production begins, not after.
Documentation preparation
We prepare all required documentation — registration dossiers, safety files, CoA, MSDS, Certificates of Free Sale, and export documents — in parallel with the production timeline.
Submission or handoff
For all markets, we prepare the complete documentation package. For UAE (Montaji/MOHAP) and GCC, we guide you through the submission process and assist at every stage — the client holds the account and takes responsibility for the final submission. For EU and Halal, we hand off a complete, organised dossier to your Responsible Person or certifying body.
Approval & clearance
Once registrations are approved and documentation is in place, your product has the legal clearance it needs to enter your target markets. We keep copies of all documentation for re-orders and future reference.
