Cosmetic Product Registration Services in Indonesia

A. Cosmetic Registration Indonesia: How to Obtain a BPOM Market Authorization Permit

All beauty products, including cosmetics, must be registered before entering the local market to ensure the safety of local consumers. The Indonesian National Agency for Drug and Food Control (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan), or BPOM, is a government agency in charge of protecting the public by controlling and supervising cosmetics. BPOM will issue a market authorization permit if your product is safe and qualified. It will take 1 to 2 months to complete the cosmetic registration process. To keep the cosmetic product notification valid, you must import all registered products within six months of receiving the BPOM notification.

Remember that BPOM will first inspect your building facility to ensure that your products meet all safety and standard distribution requirements.
