On February 28, 2025, Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (Thai FDA) released two draft announcements for a 14-day public consultation, introducing new regulations on microneedle-based cosmetics. These proposed rules aim to restrict the production, import, and sale of certain microneedle products while mandating labeling requirements for permitted dissolving microneedle patches. Once adopted, both regulations will take effect the day after publication in the Government Gazette.
The two draft announcements are:
Draft Announcement of the Ministry of Public Health on the Specification of Cosmetics in the Form of Small Needles or Microneedles that are Prohibited from Manufacture, Import, or Sale B.E. ....
Draft Announcement of the Cosmetics Committee on the Display of Warnings on the Labels of Cosmetics in the Form of Small Needles or Microneedles B.E. ....
