WANA (Oct 06) – Mahmoud Albuyeh, Director General of the Cosmetics and Hygiene Products Supervision Department at the Iranian Food and Drug Administration (IFDA), announced that domestic producers are not only successfully competing with foreign brands but are also capable of exporting Iranian cosmetic products abroad.

 

Albuyeh stated that inspections conducted at local factories revealed that domestic manufacturers maintain high standards of quality and production. “Our national producers have reached a level where they can compete with leading international brands,” he said.

 

He added that many Iranian cosmetic and hygiene manufacturers are now exporting their products to other countries — a sign of improved quality in domestic production and growing confidence in Iranian brands across regional markets.

 

Albuyeh emphasized that the IFDA’s supervision process is based on strict registration and inspection of both domestic and foreign factories before products are allowed into the Iranian market. “Only items that meet safety, authenticity, and quality requirements receive distribution approval,” he noted.

Earlier, Behrouz Akbari, Deputy Director of the Cosmetics and Hygiene Department of the IFDA, announced the start of a factory ranking initiative aimed at increasing public trust in Iranian cosmetic products.

 

Akbari explained that the new ranking framework enhances transparency, improves quality, and boosts consumer confidence. “Factories are evaluated based on compliance with regulations, performance indicators, product quality, and customer satisfaction, determined through reports on non-compliant products,” he said. “This approach helps identify top-performing manufacturers and support factories needing improvement before production.”

 

He added that the ranking system reassures consumers that Iran’s cosmetic and hygiene products are produced safely and to high-quality standards, thereby strengthening public trust in local brands.

 

According to the latest data, Iran’s cosmetics industry, with around 40 domestic manufacturers, contributes approximately $45 million to the country’s non-oil exports, while domestic consumption is estimated at $2.1 billion annually.
