India’s Cosmetics Industry—A Blossoming Opportunity
India is now one of the world’s largest emerging markets for beauty and personal care. The cosmetics industry is projected to cross USD 30 billion by 2026, driven by demand for natural and organic products, influencer marketing, and e-commerce channels. Brands like Mamaearth & Sugar Cosmetics have shown the power of a strong brand backed by legal and corporate clarity.
To enter this growing industry and compete at a national or global level, your cosmetics business must be registered and compliant. A legal company adds professionalism and gives you access to vendors, funding, online marketplaces, and retail partnerships.
Choosing the Right Structure for a Cosmetics Company in India
Before you start selling lipsticks, face serums, or hair oils, your business needs the right legal structure. This decision affects your taxation, ownership, liability, and scalability.
Private Limited Company
Ideal for those who want to create a brand, raise capital, and distribute products nationwide. This structure provides limited liability, corporate credibility, and investor trust.
One Person Company (OPC)
Suitable for solo entrepreneurs or cosmetologists launching a personal brand. You get full control and still enjoy legal protection and easier compliance.
Limited Liability Partnership (LLP)
Perfect for partnerships between formulators, product developers, or branding experts. LLPs offer flexibility with limited liability and tax efficiency.
Step-by-Step Process to Register a Cosmetics Company in India
Step 1: Choose the Business Format
Based on your team size, growth ambition, and investment plan, Filing Point helps you choose between Private Limited, OPC, or LLP.
Step 2: Reserve a Unique Brand Name
Your beauty brand name must be unique, attractive, and legally compliant. Our experts will help you apply for name reservation through the SPICe+ Part A process under the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA).
Step 3: Obtain Digital Signature Certificates (DSC)
Every director or partner requires a DSC to sign digital incorporation documents. Filing Point helps you obtain these certificates quickly through a 100% online process.
Step 4: Get DIN for Directors
The Director Identification Number (DIN) is mandatory to register as a company director. We manage your DIN application and document collection smoothly.
Step 5: Prepare MOA and AOA for Cosmetic Activities
We draft the Memorandum of Association (MOA) and Articles of Association (AOA) with objects focused on beauty product manufacturing, trading, e-commerce, or exports. These documents define your company’s purpose and structure.
Step 6: Submit SPICe+ Incorporation Forms
Incorporation forms under SPICe+ include:
- Company Registration
- PAN and TAN
- EPF and ESI (default registrations)
- Optional GST registration
Once approved, you receive your Certificate of Incorporation, Company Identification Number (CIN), PAN, and TAN—making your cosmetics company official.
Open a Current Account in Your Brand’s Name
After registration, we help you open a current account to receive payments, manage business finances, and conduct transactions under your brand identity. Most banks require incorporation documents, and we provide everything required.

Register Your Company Under MSME (Udyam)
Your cosmetics business may qualify as a Micro, Small, or Medium Enterprise (MSME). With Udyam registration, your company gains:
- Access to government tenders
- Easier loans and subsidies
- Market development support
- Tax incentives
Filing Point handles your MSME registration swiftly so you can focus on building your products.
IEC Code—For Exporting Beauty Products Worldwide
Indian cosmetic brands are now exporting to Gulf countries, Southeast Asia, Europe, and the US. If you’re planning to sell internationally, an Import Export Code (IEC) is mandatory. We help you apply for the IEC from DGFT and ensure you’re ready for global operations.
GST Registration for a Cosmetics Company
Selling beauty products on platforms like Amazon, Nykaa, Flipkart, or through your own website requires GST registration. As cosmetics are taxable products, GST is necessary for:
- Issuing invoices
- Input Tax Credit
- Tax return filings
Our team registers your business for GST and provides end-to-end support in filing and compliance.
Legal Compliance After Registration
Registering your company is just the beginning. Filing Point helps you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
Annual ROC Filings
Every year, your company must file:
- AOC-4 for financial statements
- MGT-7 for annual returns
- ADT-1 for auditor appointments
- DIR-3 KYC for director verification
We track deadlines and submit your forms on time.
Bookkeeping and Tax Management
Cosmetics companies deal with packaging costs, marketing expenses, raw material purchases, and sales revenue. Our accountants help you:
- Maintain monthly books
- Prepare financial reports
- Handle GST and TDS
- File business tax returns
Examples of Successful Registered Cosmetics Companies in India
Many beauty startups in India began with strong legal foundations and went on to become household names:
- Mamaearth – A D2C brand focused on toxin-free personal care
- Sugar Cosmetics – Known for bold, high-quality makeup products
These companies succeeded not just due to great branding, but because they operated within legal frameworks, raised funding, and followed compliance.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Starting your cosmetics company without registration or compliance can lead to serious problems:
- Platforms like Amazon and Nykaa won’t list unregistered businesses
- No IEC means no exports
- No GST means legal issues and tax penalties
- Poor documentation may affect funding or investor interest
- No brand protection means loss of IP rights
Filing Point ensures that none of these issues affect your cosmetics journey.
