Cosmetic Notification Service in Singapore

We assist overseas and local companies in submitting cosmetic product notifications with the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) in Singapore in accordance with the ASEAN Cosmetic Directives.

Cosmetic product notification is a mandatory pre-market requirement before a cosmetic product can be supplied in Singapore. Please note that cosmetic notification is not an approval or evaluation of the product by HSA.

Scope of Cosmetic Notification Service

Our cosmetic product notification service includes:

• Internal compliance review of product information, including formulation, labelling, and product claims, in accordance with the ASEAN Cosmetic Directives

• Preparation and submission of cosmetic product notification via the HSA PRISM system

Supporting documents are not submitted to HSA at the point of notification. However, these documents must be maintained by the Responsible Person and made available to HSA upon request.

Responsible Person / Cosmetic Product Notification Holder

For overseas companies without a local entity in Singapore, a local Responsible Person (Cosmetic Product Notification Holder) is required.

We can act as the local Responsible Person, where required, as a separate, chargeable service. This service includes:

• Holding and maintaining the cosmetic product notification with HSA

• Coordinating regulatory communications with HSA when required

• Supporting post-market regulatory obligations (e.g. coordination of adverse effect reporting or product recall activities), in collaboration with the product owner and/or distributor

Please note that acting as the Cosmetic Product Notification Holder is not included in the cosmetic product notification service fee and is charged separately.

Additional Notes

• An official HSA cosmetic product notification fee is payable to HSA and is separate from our service fees

• A Product Information File (PIF) must be established and maintained for each cosmetic product. The PIF is not submitted to HSA at the point of notification but may be requested by the authority during inspections or audits.
