The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) will hold an online briefing to support cosmetics exports in collaboration with Brazilian regulatory authorities. A representative from Brazil's National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) will participate to provide guidance on local regulations and approval processes.
On June 23, the MFDS announced that it will host the "Brazil Cosmetics Export Capacity Enhancement Briefing" on June 30 for domestic companies interested in entering the Brazilian cosmetics market.
This briefing was organized following a meeting between the MFDS and ANVISA officials during Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's visit to South Korea in February. The MFDS Commissioner Oh Yu-kyung proposed the event to enhance the understanding of overseas regulations among domestic companies.
During the session, an ANVISA licensing official will explain Brazil's cosmetics regulations, market approval procedures, post-market surveillance, and adverse event monitoring. A Q&A session will also be included to address regulatory concerns faced by domestic companies during the export process.
Companies wishing to attend can register for free through the Cosmetics Global Regulatory Harmonization Support Center until June 29.
An Young-jin, Director of the Bio-Pharmaceutical Bureau, stated, "We expect this will help domestic companies enhance their understanding of Brazilian cosmetics regulations and reduce uncertainties in the export process." He added, "Brazil is the largest cosmetics market in Latin America and a gateway to the South American market. We hope this will assist our companies in expanding into Brazil and increasing K-beauty exports throughout Latin America."
Meanwhile, cosmetics exports to Brazil increased from $9 million in 2022 to $54 million in 2025. The MFDS plans to continue expanding cooperation with overseas regulatory agencies to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic companies and support export growth.
