Thai FDA Labeling Requirements of Cosmetics
Thai FDA imposed the strict requirement for imported cosmetic products labeling in Thailand. The labeling requirements endorsed by the Cosmetic Committee stipulate that all cosmetics must be labeled in Thai language covering all aspects of information in compliance with the requirements as shown below:
The labels of cosmetic products may present the claims of use within the scope of cosmetics similar to those claims presented in advertising.
The manufacturers or importers must retain the profile of product information including the evidence supporting those claims. Claims must not indicate that the products have any pharmaceutical characteristics or capability to affect or alter human body’s functions or structure.
Additionally, these claims must not indicate that those cosmetic products have the capability which, in fact, does not exist (overclaim) or is the cause of misunderstanding in their quality (misleading).
