Mercosur Cosmetics Regulations: Compliance, Challenges, and Opportunities

Mercosur, the South American trade bloc comprising Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, strives to facilitate free trade and economic cooperation. In the cosmetics sector, the bloc's regulatory framework has a significant influence on member states, including Brazil, where ANVISA adopts Mercosur standards to promote trade and safeguard consumers. Despite this alignment, differences in national regulations persist, with each country at times adopting its own variations. These discrepancies can lead to compliance difficulties for international companies seeking access to the Mercosur market.

To help clarify these complexities, ChemLinked has invited Prof. Doctor Diogo Sousa-Martins, founder and president of ELS Group, to offer insights on Mercosur's cosmetics regulations, with particular emphasis on Brazil and comparisons with other member states. The webinar will explore regulatory differences among Mercosur members, offer the latest policy updates, and provide strategic insights for ensuring compliance and capitalizing on emerging opportunities in the region.
