What is multi-jurisdiction cosmetic compliance?

Multi-jurisdiction compliance means meeting the regulatory requirements of every market where you sell your cosmetic product. Each jurisdiction (EU, FDA, China NMPA, Korea MFDS, etc.) has different ingredient restrictions, labeling rules, safety assessment requirements, and registration procedures. Our platform covers 55 jurisdictions to help brands achieve global compliance efficiently.

Which country has the strictest cosmetic regulations?

The EU generally has the strictest cosmetic regulations, with over 1,600 banned substances (vs FDA's ~11), mandatory safety assessments (CPSR), Responsible Person requirements, and detailed labeling rules. However, specific requirements vary by category — China requires animal testing for some products, Korea has strict functional cosmetic rules, and US states are adding PFAS bans.
