Key Challenges

Navigating Regulatory Challenges in the Beauty Industry

From region-specific definitions to evolving safety and claim regulations, cosmetic and personal care brands face increasing regulatory pressure that delays launch and limits global reach. 

Inconsistent Definitions of ‘Cosmetic’ 

A product may be a cosmetic in one country, but a quasi-drug or OTC in another - shifting claims, formulation, and registration pathways. 

Restricted Ingredients and Safety Assessments 

Global ingredient lists are inconsistent, and safety documentation expectations vary - especially for allergens, actives, and preservatives. 

Complex Labeling and Packaging Standards 

Requirements for translations, font sizes, warnings, and regulatory language differ across EU, GCC, ASEAN, and more. 

Fragmented Global Frameworks

SuperPopups is a powerful no-code popup builder that helps you create high-converting popups to grow your email list, promote offers, and increase website engagement, all without writing code.

Claims Scrutiny and Greenwashing Penalties 

Claims around function, safety, or “clean” status must be substantiated and localized - or risk rejection and legal scrutiny. 

Halal, Alcohol, and Cultural Restrictions 

Halal compliance, alcohol content limits, and cultural label adaptations are essential in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. 

Regulatory Evolution in Emerging Markets 

India (BIS), ASEAN (ACD), and Middle East markets are updating the standards frequently - increasing the risk of non-compliance for legacy or global brands.
