Control of Cosmetics Regulations

The draft cosmetics regulations which have been prepared under section 122(e) of the Tanzania, Food, Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 2003 once approved by the Minister responsible for health matters will pave a way for registration of cosmetics among other control measures.

In preparing the regulations three important principles of regulating quality and safety of cosmetics worlwide were considered:-

  1. Safety aspects of cosmetics
  2. The rights of consumers to make an informed decision based on provision of true and adequate information
  3. Enforcement aspect to enable proper regulation of cosmetics

The regulations are divided into eight parts and covers issues such as restrictions on manufacturing and sell of cosmetics, labelling instructions, registration of cosmetics, importation of cosmetics, registation of premises and licensing and promotion control

TFDA anticipates that implementation of the regulations will bring the following benefits:-

  1. Availability of safe products and of acceptable quality and hence promotion of public health
  2. Optimization of partnership with the industry
  3. Provision of necessary information to enable one make an informed choice
  4. Limit the prospect of counterfeit and poor quality cosmetics.
