Ghad Platform Registration Service for Cosmetic Products

Ghad SFDA Cosmetics registration

The Ghad Platform was established to regulate the import, distribution, and marketing of cosmetic products within the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. According to the regulations, cosmetic products must be listed and registered on the platform before they can be imported into the Saudi market.

What is the SFDA Ghad Platform?

The Ghad Platform is an electronic system used to register imported cosmetic products and cosmetic manufacturing facilities with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA).

Through this platform, companies can officially list their cosmetic products with the regulatory authority responsible for overseeing cosmetics in Saudi Arabia.

Mandatory Registration of Cosmetic Products on the Ghad Platform

Registration through the Ghad Platform is mandatory for all companies intending to import cosmetic products into Saudi Arabia. Cosmetic products cannot be imported unless they are registered under the Saudi importer’s account on the platform.

The Saudi Food and Drug Authority is responsible for monitoring and ensuring the safety of products circulating in the Saudi market. As part of its regulatory role, the authority manages the listing of cosmetic products and continuously improves the procedures and electronic systems used for product registration.

Therefore, companies are required to register their cosmetic products with the SFDA, whether these products are imported from abroad or manufactured locally within the Kingdom. This process is completed by submitting the required documentation through the Ghad system, which enables companies to register both cosmetic products and manufacturing facilities.
