The Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) has issued a public notice stating that injectable products do not fall under the definition of cosmetics as per the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940. This clarification comes in response to the increasing popularity of injectable procedures at beauty clinics, which are often marketed for skin brightening, anti-aging, and facial enhancement. The CDSCO emphasized that cosmetics are intended for topical use only, such as being rubbed or sprayed on the body, and explicitly prohibited their use as injectables. The notice also warned against the misleading promotion of cosmetic products as treatment options and highlighted the risks associated with the use of prohibited ingredients. Manufacturers and sellers must refrain from making false claims about their products. The CDSCO urged consumers, professionals, and manufacturers to report any violations or suspicious practices through their official channels. This regulatory action aims to protect consumers from potential harm and ensure the integrity of cosmetic products in the market.
