CDSCO Declares Injectable Cosmetic Products Prohibited by Law

A recent notice has clarified that products supplied as injectable preparations are not categorized as cosmetics. The announcement emphasizes that the use of cosmetics for injection purposes—whether by consumers, professionals, or aesthetic clinics—is prohibited.

This clarification aligns with regulatory guidelines aimed at ensuring consumer safety and maintaining standards within the cosmetic industry. Injectable products are typically classified as medical treatments, and their use is subject to stricter regulations compared to traditional cosmetics. This distinction is critical for practitioners and consumers to ensure that they adhere to safety protocols and legal requirements.

The regulation aims to prevent potential health risks associated with the unregulated use of cosmetic products in injectable forms and underscores the importance of using products specifically designed and approved for injection.
