MCAZ to regulate cosmetic products

THE Medicines Control Authority of Zimbabwe (MCAZ) is set to introduce a comprehensive regulatory framework for cosmetic products sold within the country.

In a Press statement issued yesterday, MCAZ director-general Richard Rukwata said the move was aimed at safeguarding consumer health and enhancing product quality.

“The regulations, known as Medicines and Allied Substances Control (Cosmetics) Regulations, seek to address growing concerns over the proliferation of sub-standard, falsified and potentially harmful cosmetic products in Zimbabwe,” he said.
