Singapore Skincare Compliance Guide

Scope: This guide is for skincare products intended for Singapore Skincare Compliance Guide. Confirm the final product classification and local-party setup before formula lock or artwork approval.

Understand the market framework

A cosmetic product notification is usually submitted before supply. Notification supports regulatory follow-up and is not product approval.

Key route and documentation requirements

• Set up the local dealer and PRISM access before notification.
• Check ASEAN Annex ingredient conditions and Singapore labelling requirements.
• Plan amendment, annual re-notification, adverse-effect and recall controls.
