Cosmetic product registration is the mandatory approval process by Dubai Municipality’s Consumer Product Safety Section (CPRS) that allows your beauty products to be legally sold in the UAE. This process evaluates your product’s safety, ingredients, labeling, and compliance with international standards, ensuring only high-quality cosmetics reach consumers.
Dubai serves as a gateway to the entire GCC region, with consumers from over 200 nationalities creating diverse beauty needs and premium market opportunities. The emirate’s tax-free environment and world-class infrastructure make it an ideal hub for beauty brands targeting the Middle East and Africa.
CPRS maintains some of the world’s most rigorous cosmetic safety standards, creating a premium market environment where registered products command higher prices and stronger brand loyalty. Major retailers like Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, and Sephora Middle East require proper registration certificates for product placement, giving your brand immediate credibility with distributors and consumers alike.
