Cosmetic Registration Indonesia: How to Obtain a BPOM Market Authorization Permit

To ensure the safety of local consumers, all beauty products, including cosmetics, are required to be registered before entering the local market. The National Agency for Drug and Food Control of Indonesia (Badan Pengawas Obat dan Makanan) or BPOM is a government agency responsible for protecting the public through the control and supervision of cosmetics. If your product is deemed safe and qualified, BPOM will issue a market authorization permit. The cosmetic registration process will take 1 to 2 months to complete. Once the BPOM notification is issued, you should import all registered products within six months to keep the cosmetic product notification valid.

Keep in mind that BPOM will first conduct a building facility inspection to ensure that your products comply with all safety and standard distribution requirements.
