2021-08-06


The Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO), on the 7th of July 2021 issued an update to the draft Gulf Technical Regulation No. GSO 2528/2021 "Cosmetic products – Technical Regulation of cosmetic and personal care products claims". This was done through Technical Committee No. 12 and the draft was prepared by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This regulation focuses on the criteria of cosmetic product claims and the basic requirements of acceptable claims of cosmetic products. It further proposes that any claim or advertisement of cosmetic products must comply with certain criteria, as provided by this regulation.

The functions, intended use, and scope of application of cosmetic products are mentioned in GSO 1953 “Cosmetic Products- Cosmetic Products Safety Requirements”. According to this regulation, any product that contains unacceptable claims will fall out of the scope of cosmetic products.
