After initial notification, cosmetic products may undergo formulation, labeling, or packaging changes. EDA requires that such changes be submitted as variation notifications to maintain compliance.
Types of Variations
Minor Changes: Changes in packaging materials, font size, or non-critical design changes
Major Changes: Alterations in composition, functional claims, or product category
Procedure
1- Submit a variation form through the EDA portal
2- Attach updated documentation (e.g., revised composition or artwork)
4- Wait for EDA approval before marketing the updated product
Key Takeaway
Proper management of variations ensures continuous compliance and avoids regulatory penalties.
