The Cosmetics Act (No. 2) B.E. 2565 (2022) is an amendment to the Cosmetic Act B.E. 2558 (2015), which only includes revised Articles. The remaining unrevised Provisions and Articles of the Cosmetic Act B.E. 2558 (2015) still apply.
In addition, this revision mainly focuses on the updates of some administrative procedures, fees, and the responsibilities of the competent authority, which may not have significant impact on cosmetic enterprises.
