To import any form of cosmetics into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it is mandatory to go through the Conformity Assessment program to ensure the quality and safety of cosmetic products. For businesses looking to expand into new markets like Saudi Arabia, following the rules set by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) is crucial.
The SFDA programme ensures that the cosmetics entering into Saudi Arabia are safe for people to use. This is done through assessing the quality of the products, checking the labels meet the regulations, and most importantly the products have been tested to the correct standards set out by the SFDA.
