It is a common knowledge that the skin care business has recently been on the rise in the whole world.

And just like every other industries, the skin care industry is also regulated by several legal requirements.

This legal requirements includes:

1. REGISTRATION WITH CAC– This is the first step to getting your business legally compliant. Here, you come up with a unique name for your business, ensure that it is not already in use by another business, then proceed to registering with the CAC. You can decide to either register as a business name or a company.

2. TRADEMARK REGISTRATION– From observation, every skin care company give each product a unique name. Such name form an Intellectual Property of the company and has to be trademarked for brand protection.

3. NAFDAC REGISTRATION– The first two registrations are required to obtain the NAFDAC registration.
NAFDAC does not only regulate foods and drugs, it is also saddled with the responsibility of regulating the activities of cosmetic business.

You will be putting yourself and your brand at risk if you decide not to go through these legal requirements.

Starting a skin care business goes beyond mixing right chemicals and branding, hence, unless you plan on running an illegal business, following these legal requirements are very essential.
