Business Regulations & the TGA

Starting your own business or adding

a line of Mineral Cosmetics to your

existing business is a very exciting

process, but how do you know that

you have all the information you

need or that you are complying with

Australian Standards?

As a registered Cosmetics

Manufacturer we comply with the

ACCC Trade Practices Act 1974 and

label in accordance with the Trade

Practices (Consumer Product

Information Standards) (Cosmetics)

Regulations 1991, including their

International Nomenclature

Cosmetic Ingredient (INCI) names.

 

RJ Mineral Cosmetics also meet

and comply with standard operating

procedures, hold current worldwide

product and business insurance.

 

The Therapeutic Goods

Administration (TGA) is responsible

for the regulation of products that

make claims; Cosmetics can fall into

this category. We recommend that

you contact the TGA with any

questions you have in regards to

your new Mineral Cosmetics line,

and any wording or claims that

you may make on your product

brochures, labels etc. A great

starting point is their website at

http://www.tga.gov.au/

 

As for advice on setting up your

own business or regulations that

may govern your new business,

we suggest that you contact your

local Business Advisory Service;

these can be located in the

yellow pages and have an office

in every state. Discuss any GST

questions you may have with you

Accountant and any legal 

questions you may have with

your lawyer.

 

All of the ingredients used in

RJ Mineral Cosmetic formulations

are Cosmetic Grade and comply

with ingredients currently accepted

for use in Cosmetics in Australia,

the United States of America,
