Geneva (June 16, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, has published an article summarizing its participation in Beautyworld Saudi Arabia.

Beautyworld Saudi Arabia showcases the latest innovations in the beauty industry and offers attendees the opportunity to access expertise in key areas such as cosmetics, skincare, haircare, salon supplies and fragrances.

The growing demand for accredited testing and inspection services was demonstrated by the numbers visiting the SGS booth, which was staffed by experts from various countries, alongside local Saudi specialists. The comprehensive range of product conformity assessment (PCA) solutions provided by SGS is essential for businesses looking to access Saudi markets compliantly while building consumer confidence.

Strict compliance with Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) regulations is required for cosmetic products sold in the country. SGS is an approved body for the issuance of certificates of conformity (CoC). A CoC is necessary for the validation of a product, alongside other documents required by the Saudi PCA regulations.

With a diverse audience of manufacturers, salon owners, retailers, distributors and wholesalers from the Kingdom and around the world, the three-day event provided a valuable window into the industry, highlighting SGS’s contribution to delivering safe, fit-for-purpose and competitive beauty products.

Further details of SGS’s PVoC services for Saudi Arabia are available in the Q2 PCA newsletter [www.sgs.com/en/publications/pca-newsletters]
