Cosmetics and personal care

A sector growing abroad and a regulation that does not forgive

Cosmetics exports grow every year, and it is also one of the sectors where an export falls over a botched registration. Exporta.ai tells you what each country demands before you ship, and who distributes your category there.

Registration and notification required, country by countryDistributors in perfumery, pharmacy and specialist retailCosmoprof and Beautyworld, with their exhibitor list

What stops a cosmetics export

Every country, its own registration

CPNP notification in the EU, NMPA registration in China, their own requirements in the Gulf and Latin America. It is not paperwork for later: without it the product does not enter.

Banned ingredients where you least expect

A formula that is legal in Europe may carry an ingredient restricted elsewhere. You find out at registration, which is the worst possible moment.

A very fragmented channel

Perfumery, pharmacy, specialist retail and e-commerce buy differently. Picking the wrong channel costs the season.

How Exporta.ai handles it

What is required, before you ship

The report collects the access requirements for your category in that country with their source, and flags what it could not verify instead of taking it as given.

Distributors with an email that works

We find the distributors in your category and the purchasing person, and each email arrives marked as verified, likely or unconfirmed: a bounce is not just a lost email, it is sender reputation burned.

The first email, written from what you know about them

The AI drafts the opening email using what is known about the company and the person, in their language. You review it and send it; you do not face the blank page forty times.

A typical case · Natural cosmetics lab, 12 staff, Barcelona

They had Middle East orders stalled because nobody knew which registration was needed. The report said so with its source and ruled out one market over a restricted ingredient before the batch was made; the other two went ahead.

An illustrative example of typical use; it does not describe a specific customer.

Does Exporta.ai file the health registration for me?

No, and that is worth saying plainly: it tells you which one is required, for which category, and where that requirement comes from. Filing belongs to a regulatory consultant, and arriving knowing what is needed saves you the expensive part.

Can I search only niche distributors rather than mass market?

Yes. The search starts from how you describe your ideal customer, so “certified natural cosmetics distributor for pharmacy” searches for that and not a generic list of perfumeries.

Shall we start with your market?

Start free, no card. Every paid plan includes the tools.
