NOM-141-SSA1/SCFI-2012 is an Official Mexican Standard that establishes the sanitary and commercial labeling requirements for pre-packaged cosmetic products sold in Mexico. This standard aims to ensure consumer safety, prevent health risks, and provide clear, accurate information about cosmetic products, aligning sanitary oversight with commercial transparency. The standard applies to all pre-packaged cosmetic products intended for final consumption in Mexico, whether domestically produced or imported. Cosmetics are defined as substances or formulations intended to be applied to the human body (e.g., skin, hair, nails, lips, or teeth) for purposes of cleansing, beautifying, improving appearance, or modifying odor, without affecting bodily functions (distinguishing them from pharmaceuticals). Examples include makeup, perfumes, shampoos, lotions, and deodorants.
