Introduction
Currently, the cosmetic control in Thailand has been implemented by the Cosmetic Act B.E. 2535 (1992). The cosmetic regulation consists of various activities in two major areas: pre-marketing and post-marketing activities. Any products having pharmaceutical characteristics such as those affecting or altering the functions or structure of human body or presenting as pharmaceutical products will be outside the scope of cosmetic regulation.
According to the Cosmetic Act of B.E. 2535 (1992), the focus of regulation has been recently shifted from pre-marketing activities to post-marketing activities. This effort originated on the notion that the utilization of technical requirements and the practice of good manufacturing guidelines can ensure the quality of cosmetic products manufactured.
