Counterfeit Cosmetics in India: Consumer Risks and Legal Responses

Author(s) Sadhana GS
Country India
Abstract Due to uncontrolled imports, fake production, and internet sales of inferior cosmetics, the illicit cosmetics trade in India has grown and now poses a serious threat to public health. Cosmetic safety is governed by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act of 1940, but it lacks strong enforcement tools, requirements for pre-market approval, and severe sanctions to stop counterfeiting. Unmonitored sales of counterfeit goods have been made easier by the growth of social media marketplaces and e-commerce platforms. Stronger border security, AI-powered tracking technologies, and improved cooperation between law enforcement, regulatory organizations like CDSCO, and customs are all necessary to address this problem. Campaigns to raise consumer awareness must also inform the public about the dangers fake cosmetics pose to their health and provide them with the tools to recognize genuine goods. India can reduce the dangers of fake cosmetics and guarantee public safety in the beauty sector by enacting stronger laws, utilizing technology, and encouraging consumer awareness.
Keywords Counterfeit cosmetics, consumer safety, e-commerce regulation, AI tracking, public health risks.
