The National Policy on Cosmetics Safety and Health (NPCSH) provides Nigeria with that coherent framework. It establishes a unified direction for regulation, coordination, and vigilance across the cosmetics value chain, from formulation and manufacturing to distribution, marketing, use, and disposal. It makes cosmetics safety a public health imperative, aligning national efforts with international conventions such as the Minamata Convention on Mercury, the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, and the Libreville Declaration on Health and Environment in Africa.
The overall goal of the UNEP Global Mercury Partnership is to protect human health and the environment from the releases of mercury.
