Thailand Introduces Draft Regulations for Microneedle-Based Cosmetics

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.
