January 1, 2024 | Chinese Mainland | China to Require Submission of Safety Information on All Ingredients | Starting from January 1, 2024, when applying for registration of special cosmetics and notification of general cosmetics, the cosmetic registrant and notifier must provide ingredient safety information documents for all ingredients used in the product formula.
This can be done by either submitting ingredient safety information as per Annex 14 of the Provisions for Management of Cosmetic Registration and Notification Dossiers or obtaining an ingredient submission code from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). The latter option allows companies to conveniently link the ingredient safety information by filling in the obtained code during the product registration/notification process. | |
