What Is Trademark Class 3 for Cosmetic Products?
Trademark Class 3 is one of the 45 classes under the NICE Classification, the international system used by the Indian Trade Marks Registry to categorise goods and services. Class 3 covers non-medicated cosmetics, toiletries, perfumery, essential oils, soaps, hair care and dental care preparations, and cleaning, polishing and abrasive products. If you manufacture or sell lipsticks, foundation, skincare creams, perfumes, shampoos, soaps, or similar non-medicated personal care items, you need to register your brand name and logo under Class 3 to gain exclusive legal rights to use that mark across India.
Products Covered Under Trademark Class 3
- Cosmetics and makeup - lipsticks, foundation, eyeliner, blush, nail polish, false eyelashes
- Skincare and haircare - creams, serums, lotions, shampoos, conditioners, hair oils and dyes (non-medicated)
- Perfumery and fragrances - perfumes, deodorants for humans, essential oils, room fragrancing preparations
- Soaps and bath preparations - toilet soaps, bath salts, shower gels, bath bombs
- Oral hygiene (non-medicated) - toothpaste, tooth powders, mouthwashes
- Cleaning and household preparations - laundry bleaching agents, polishing, scouring and abrasive preparations
- Cosmetic accessories and preparations - makeup removers, cotton wool and swabs for cosmetic use, shoe polish and leather care
Not sure whether your specific product fits Class 3? Read our broader guide on the different types of trademarks before filing.
What Is NOT Covered Under Class 3
A common filing mistake is placing medicated or therapeutic products under Class 3. The following goods are excluded and belong to other classes instead:
| Product | Correct Class | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Medicated soaps, shampoos, antibacterial washes | Class 5 | Classified as pharmaceutical/medicated once they carry a therapeutic claim |
| Disinfectants and sanitising agents with medical claims | Class 5 | Treated as pharmaceutical or antiseptic preparations |
| Industrial cleaning chemicals, degreasers | Class 1 | Used in manufacturing processes, not personal/household use |
| Makeup brushes, tweezers, nail files, razors | Class 8 / Class 21 | Classified as tools/instruments, not cosmetic preparations |
| Online sale or retail of cosmetics (D2C, marketplace) | Class 35 | Retail/e-commerce is a service, not a product classification |
| Beauty parlour and spa services | Class 44 | Classified as a personal/beauty care service, not a product |
Many D2C cosmetic brands file both Class 3 (for the product) and Class 35 (for retail/online sale) together for complete protection. Ask our team if your brand needs a dual-class filing.
Why Register Your Cosmetic Brand Under Class 3
- Exclusive brand ownership - prevents other cosmetic or personal care brands from using your name or logo
- Legal protection - enables legal notices and infringement action against counterfeit or copycat products
- Marketplace protection - helps remove counterfeit listings from Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, and other platforms
- Investor and franchise readiness - a registered mark is often required before raising funding or licensing your brand
- Builds consumer trust - the ® symbol signals an established, credible cosmetics brand
- Nationwide rights - protection applies across India, not just your home state
If your application faces an objection, our trademark objection reply service can help resolve it quickly, and our trademark renewal online service keeps your protection active every ten years.
Trademark Class 3 Registration - Complete Price List

| Professional / Filing Fee | ₹1999 | All applicants - covers availability search and filing under Class 3 |

Common Mistakes Cosmetic Brands Make When Filing Class 3
- Filing medicated or antibacterial products under Class 3 instead of Class 5, causing objections
- Skipping Class 35 when the brand primarily sells online or through a D2C website
- Launching a brand name publicly before running a trademark availability search
- Writing a vague specification of goods instead of clearly listing the actual cosmetic products sold
- Missing the renewal deadline, which can lapse protection after ten years

Frequently Asked Questions - Trademark Class 3 for Cosmetics
What is Trademark Class 3 used for?
Trademark Class 3 protects non-medicated cosmetics, toiletries, perfumery, essential oils, soaps, hair care, and dental care preparations, along with cleaning and polishing products.
What is the cost of trademark registration under Class 3?
The Class 3 registration package costs Rs.1999 as a professional fee, plus a government filing fee of Rs.4500 for individuals, MSMEs and startups, or Rs.9000 for other applicants, and includes a trademark availability search and filing under one class.
Do medicated skincare products fall under Class 3?
No. Medicated, antiseptic, or therapeutic products such as medicated soaps and antibacterial shampoos are classified under Class 5, not Class 3.
Do I need Class 35 in addition to Class 3 for my cosmetics brand?
If you sell your cosmetics directly online or through a D2C website, Class 35 (retail and e-commerce services) is recommended alongside Class 3 for complete protection, since Class 3 only protects the products themselves.
Are makeup brushes and nail files covered under Class 3?
No. Makeup brushes, nail files, tweezers, and similar tools are classified under Class 8 or Class 21, not Class 3, since they are instruments rather than cosmetic preparations.
How long does Class 3 trademark registration take?
Once documents are submitted, the application is filed and filed documents are shared within 24 to 48 hours. Full registration by the Trademark Registry can take several months depending on objections and examination.
Does an MSME-registered cosmetics brand get a fee discount?
Yes, applicants holding an MSME registration certificate pay a lower government filing fee (Rs.4500) compared to companies without MSME status (Rs.9000).
Can I register both my brand name and logo under Class 3?
Yes, you can file a combined word and logo mark, or register them separately under Class 3 for broader protection of both your brand name and packaging logo.
