How to Comply with the Cosmetic Regulations in the Middle East
Jul. 14th, 2022
Michael S. Wenk
Free
Background
The Middle East has long been a relative patchwork of chemical substance regulations, from some countries implementing significant restrictions and requirements on the management of such items to others that appear to employ little-to-no regulation. The landscape for cosmetic products is similarly fragmented, although several countries in the region have taken significant steps to implement regulatory controls on these types of products within their borders.
In this webinar, Mr. Michael S. Wenk, President/Director of m4 Global Consulting LLC, will first examine the regulations applicable to cosmetic products across the Gulf Cooperation Council, and then focus on five countries in the region that have well-developed management, labeling, and notification schemes for such products, namely United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Upon completing the webinar, stakeholders will have a much stronger understanding of how such products are regulated and will be able to more confidently approach the Middle Eastern market.
