Dear ma'am,

The cosmetic products in India are regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act 1940 and Rules 1945 and Labelling Declarations by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). A license has to be obtained from a Licensing Authority appointed by the State Government to manufacture any of the cosmetics classified under Schedule M-II of the Act..

Please note that liability occurs when you are make adulterated, misbranded or spurious products. You must be very particular if your cosmetics are in compliance with the standard mentioned in the Act.  You have to get a certificate after the application is furnished in Form 31 along with a license fee and an inspection fee. The manufacturer has to ensure that the production is done in the presence of a competent and qualified technical staff. The Licensing Authority is required to order an inspection of the whole premises where the operations are to be carried out, before granting or refusing the license. The inspectors are appointed under the Act are required to submit a detailed report to the Licensing Authority which can then decide whether to grant the license or not.

If any of your costumer is dissatisfied with your products and files a consumer complaint against you, the fact that you did not even get the license to carry on this business will only weaken your case. Also, even though the sale takes place through the online mode, please note that as long as you are involved in the activity of making cosmetics, it will fall under this act.  Thank you.
