Cosmetic Registration in Indonesia
Cosmetic registration in Indonesia runs through BPOM's notification system, with its own rules on permitted ingredients, import documentation, and labeling. PRI manages the full process so your product reaches the market without unnecessary delays or rejections.

Why Cosmetic Registration in Indonesia Takes Longer Than Brands Expect
Most delays trace back to a handful of recurring issues that are easy to miss without local regulatory experience.
01
Uncertainty about which ingredients are permitted or restricted
BPOM maintains its own list of restricted and prohibited cosmetic ingredients, based on the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive, which does not always align with regulations in other markets. Brands also frequently ask whether halal certification is required alongside BPOM notification, since the two are separate processes with different scopes. Submitting a formulation without checking it first is one of the most common causes of rejection.
02
Import documentation that catches first-time exporters off guard
Many brands assume that BPOM notification alone is enough to bring a cosmetic product into Indonesia. In practice, imported cosmetics also require a separate Import Permit (SKI), and shipments without it can be held at customs even if the notification itself has already been approved.
03
No local entity to hold the cosmetic notification
BPOM requires every cosmetic notification to be held by a licensed entity based in Indonesia. Foreign brands without a local company need this structure resolved before submission, which is often discovered later than ideal in the planning process.
