Question

What are the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations for selling cosmetics and personal care products in Australia?

Answer

The TGA oversees the regulation of therapeutic goods, including certain cosmetics and personal care products that make therapeutic claims. Products must be listed or registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) before selling. Ingredients must meet the TGA's safety standards. Labeling, advertising, and post-market monitoring also come under TGA's purview. Products that don't make therapeutic claims are governed by the ACCC and the NICNAS. Engaging with our health and beauty regulatory experts can assist businesses in navigating these complex regulations.
