India
The Indian cosmetic industry is another one that is booming and profiting from social and economic changes.
In India, the Drugs and Cosmetic Act 1940 and Rules 1945 (D&C Act) operates the regulations of cosmetics.
Imports of cosmetics to India all need to be registered as a previous lack of regulation led to the proliferation of sub-standard and counterfeit cosmetics on the Indian market.
Labeling regulation in India also requires the inside and outside labels of a product to show the name of the cosmetic product as well as the name of the manufacturer and its address.
