Columbia Cosmeceuticals Market Overview, 2030

Regulatory frameworks in Colombia are evolving to support this trend. Law 2047 of 2020 prohibits animal testing for cosmetics, signaling a commitment to ethical practices. Additionally, the Colombian Institute of Technical Standards and Certification (ICONTEC) is promoting the use of sustainable raw materials and encouraging the development of products that align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Technological innovations are also reshaping the market landscape. Brands like Krika Cosmetics are leveraging digital platforms to enhance consumer engagement, offering features such as product recognition technologies and virtual tutorials. This integration of beauty tech is not only streamlining the shopping experience but also fostering a more personalized approach to skincare. The market's trajectory is further influenced by macroeconomic factors, including inflation rates and consumer spending patterns.

Challenges persist, including the need to comply with stringent regulatory standards for product registration and labeling. To address these challenges, the Colombian government has implemented initiatives to enhance local testing laboratories and certification bodies, facilitating compliance with international quality standards and improving access to global markets. Regulatory oversight in Colombia is primarily managed by the National Institute for the Surveillance of Medicines and Food (INVIMA). Cosmetic products must undergo a registration process known as the Mandatory Sanitary Notification (NSO), which requires submission of technical data sheets, labeling information, and certification from a local pharmaceutical chemist. The registration fee is approximately $800 USD per product group, and the NSO is valid for seven years. Law 2047 of 2020 prohibits animal testing for cosmetic products, their ingredients, or combinations, effective from August 2024. Non-compliance with this law can result in fines up to 50 times the minimum monthly wage.
