Govt May Ban Mercury-Based Cosmetics
Mint Bangalore
|July 02, 2025
The Union government is deliberating a crackdown on cosmetic makers using mercury in their formulations after a government committee recommended a ban, according to officials and documents reviewed by Mint.
A panel set by Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) has recommended that the use of mercury in cosmetic formulations be banned, documents showed.
The Centre plans to identify cosmetics containing mercury and phase out their sale from the $20-billion Indian cosmetics market and from online platforms this year. Cosmetic firms will have to provide self-declarations about their products being mercury-free. The products will then be put to rigorous laboratory tests for verification, officials said.
