Also, it defines that all cosmetics imported for sale in India must be registered with the licencing authority. The manufacturer who has a registered office in India, an authorised agent of the manufacturer, a subsidiary of the manufacturer and any other importer can apply for registration of cosmetics in India.
Nail care products must comply with specific labelling requirements. The labels should include information such as product name, ingredients list, manufacturing and expiry dates, directions for use, precautions, and contact details of the manufacturer or importer.
Increase in Professional Nail Care Services

The rise of nail salons and nail bars across Indian cities has made professional nail care services more accessible to consumers. These establishments offer a wide range of services including manicures, pedicures, nail extensions and nail art, attracting consumers who prefer professional nail care treatments. Urban areas in India have seen a rise in Western influences, including nail care trends. As more people adopt Western beauty practices, there is a greater demand for professional nail care services that provide the latest techniques, styles and products.

Impact of COVID-19 on India Nail Care Market
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the nail care market in India, as it has on various industries worldwide. The industry was affected due to various lockdowns, disruptions in supply chains, social distancing policies, job losses, changes in consumer buying patterns and whatnot. Major international brands from France, South Korea and the United States were short of raw materials and finished products due to import restrictions and supply chain disruptions. This also provided an opportunity for domestic brands to step up and capture a significant market share.
With limited access to nail salons, many individuals turned to at-home nail care routines. This resulted in an increased demand for DIY nail care products, including nail polishes, nail art kits and nail care tools that could be used at home. The closure of retail channels forced consumers to turn to online channels for their nail care product needs. E-commerce platforms and online beauty retailers experienced a surge in sales during the pandemic.
