With the adoption and implementation of the ASEAN Harmonized Cosmetic Regulatory Scheme in 2005 by virtue of DOH Administrative Order No. 2005-0015 and 2005-0025, the notification scheme for cosmetic products was implemented. This was first fully implemented as a manual application process through FDA Bureau Circular No. 2007-013- A.

The application process went electronic in March 2013 through FDA Memorandum Circular No. 2013-011. This shift aimed to streamline the process by updating the submission of application requirements from the previously manual form to online submissions.

In August 2015, to further enhance the efficiency of the application process and transparency of information, the cosmetic product notification scheme was updated and incorporated in the FDA E-Portal.
