The 60-second check

Is your product legal to sell in Singapore?

Paste your ingredient list. We'll screen it against Singapore's cosmetic rules and tell you exactly where you stand — the banned stuff, the restricted stuff, and what it means for you. Free. Leave a WhatsApp to see your result, and a real person can help you sort anything it flags.

Snap the ingredients panel and we'll type it out for you.

Singapore's cosmetic categories, from HSA's list.

The number on your packaging, e.g. NA18210112345 — every legally-sold Indonesian cosmetic has one. It confirms you're registered at home, but BPOM doesn't publish ingredients — so we still need your ingredient list above to run the Singapore screen.

Where should we send your result?

We'll show it the moment you hit check — and if anything needs sorting, a real person can help you fix it. No email list, no spam.

To run the check, add: your ingredient list, your WhatsApp number, your brand name.

A preliminary screen, not legal advice — but it catches the things that make a product illegal to sell in Singapore. We keep a copy of your check and your WhatsApp so we can follow up and help; your photo isn't stored.

How the check works

Singapore doesn't approve or test cosmetics before they go on sale. Instead, a locally-based Responsible Person notifies the product to the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and stands behind its safety — the acknowledgement is automatic, and the product must clear two ingredient lists under the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD) that HSA applies to every cosmetic sold here.

The prohibited list bans certain substances outright — mercury and its compounds are the one most Indonesian whitening and lightening products get caught on. The restricted list allows other ingredients, but only up to a stated concentration or under stated conditions.

This tool checks your ingredient list against both lists and tells you which, if any, of your ingredients fall into either category — the same check a Responsible Person runs before agreeing to notify your product.

What it doesn't catch

A clean ingredient screen isn't the whole compliance picture. Your label still needs the Responsible Person's name and Singapore address plus required particulars in English, and higher-risk categories — whitening and lightening especially — typically need a certificate of analysis for heavy metals before a Responsible Person will take the product on. Think of this as the first filter, not the full review.

Questions we get

Is this a licence check?

No. Singapore doesn't licence or approve cosmetics before sale — a locally-based Responsible Person notifies the product to the HSA and stands behind its safety. This tool checks your ingredients against the same prohibited and restricted lists that notification relies on, so you know where you stand before you file anything.

What does the checker actually screen against?

The prohibited and restricted-with-limits ingredient lists under the ASEAN Cosmetic Directive (ACD), which Singapore's HSA applies to every cosmetic sold here. A prohibited ingredient means the formulation can't be sold as-is. A restricted one means it's allowed only up to a stated concentration or under stated conditions.

What doesn't it catch?

It doesn't check your label particulars (the Responsible Person's name and Singapore address, required warnings, ingredient declaration format), and it doesn't substitute for lab results — whitening, lightening, and other higher-risk products typically need a certificate of analysis for heavy metals before anyone will act as your Responsible Person. It's a first screen, not a full compliance review.

My product isn't flagged. Am I clear to sell?

Clearing the ingredient screen is necessary but not sufficient — you still need a Responsible Person to file the HSA notification and a compliant label before you can legally sell. If you want that handled, that's what our Responsible Person service does.

Does my BPOM registration cover this?

Not directly. BPOM and HSA are different regulators with different prohibited/restricted lists, and BPOM doesn't publish the kind of ingredient-level data HSA notification needs. Registration at home doesn't carry across — check your product here regardless of your BPOM status.
