Cosmetic Regulation in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia (KSA) are highly regulated cosmetic markets where products generally require prior registration before they can be placed on the market.

Although both countries share certain regional technical standards, the registration process, regulatory platforms and market-specific requirements differ in each jurisdiction.
