Brazil Cosmetics Registration

The cosmetics market was sluggish during the pandemic, but is now gradually recovering, showing a positive outlook.

Brazil has the world's fourth-largest cosmetics market.

In order to enter the Brazilian beauty market, registration of cosmetics with Brazil's ANVISA is essential.

 

Brazilian cosmetics are classified into Class I and Class II according to risk of cosmetics.

Classification	Description	Examples
Class I	Products with basic or elementary properties    They do not require detailed information on their labeling regarding their mode of use and their restrictions of use	- skin moisturizers (without sunscreen; except those for stretch marks) - face cleansing creams - lotions - gels and oils (except those for acne skin) - perfumes, lipsticks (without sunscreen) - fingernail polishes - eye and facial makeup preparations (without sunscreen) - eyelash mascara - cleansing shampoos and hair conditioners
Class II	Product’s have specific indications that require proof of safety and/or efficacy, as well as more information on their labeling on their mode of use and restrictions of use.	- children’s products - sunscreen lotions and creams - products for straightening - curling and/or dyeing hair - products for wrinkles - antiseptic soap - insect repellent products

According to ANVISA regulations, Class I is exempt from registration and only needs to report (notify) to ANVISA.

Once the notification process is completed and the notification is posted on the ANVISA website, the product can be commercialized.

Class II must be registered with ANVISA, and the ANVISA notification/registration certificate is valid for 5 years.

 

However, foreign companies cannot apply directly to ANVISA in Brazil, and can apply through a local legal representative in Brazil.
