Cosmetics Manufacturing for Australia & New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand regulate cosmetics through chemicals and hazardous-substances frameworks rather than a cosmetic notification portal. The obligation sits with the local business that imports or manufactures for supply, and a therapeutic claim moves a product to a different regime entirely.

Market entry topics

The three points buyers get wrong

Who registers

The regulated party is the local business introducing the product, not the overseas manufacturer. The factory's job is to supply accurate composition and safety information that stands up in someone else's declaration.

Sunscreen is not a cosmetic in Australia

Sunscreen is regulated as a therapeutic good in Australia, so the permitted actives and the route to market differ from Europe or Asia. Market-specific filter selection belongs in the brief, not in a post-launch fix.

No EU-style annexes to copy

These markets control ingredients through their own frameworks rather than an EU positive-list structure, so a European checklist is not a substitute for a destination-specific screening.
