Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) Registration for Optimum Brands

We are delighted to share an important milestone for Optimum Brands — we are now officially registered with the Australian Industrial Chemicals Introduction Scheme (AICIS) as both an introducer and manufacturer of soap and cosmetic goods in Australia.

What is AICIS?

AICIS is the Australian Government’s regulatory framework that oversees the safe introduction and use of industrial chemicals — including the ingredients used in soaps, skincare, and cosmetic products. Registration means that the chemicals used in our formulations have been assessed and are fully compliant with Australian safety and environmental standards.

What does this mean for you as a stockist?

As your supplier, our AICIS registration gives you confidence that:

• 
  Our products meet Australian regulatory requirements — every ingredient has been assessed under the AICIS framework, giving you full compliance confidence when retailing our range.
• 
  Your compliance risk is reduced — partnering with an AICIS-registered manufacturer means you’re stocking products that take regulatory responsibility seriously.
• 
  Transparent supply chain — our registration is publicly verifiable, giving your customers and your own compliance team complete peace of mind.
• 
  Future-proofed partnership — as Australian cosmetic regulations continue to evolve, you can trust that Optimum Brands will remain ahead of compliance requirements.

Why it matters to your customers

Consumers are increasingly aware of ingredient safety and regulatory standards. Being able to say your products are sourced from an AICIS-registered Australian manufacturer is a genuine point of difference — and one we encourage you to share with confidence.

We remain committed to producing premium, handcrafted soaps and cosmetic goods that are as safe and compliant as they are beautiful.

If you have any questions about our AICIS registration or what it means for your store, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Warm regards,
Catriona & the Optimum Brands Team
