On November 10 2015, China Food and Drug Administration released Guidance for Safety Risk Assessment of Cosmetics for public consultation. The public consultation will end on Dec 10. When CFDA began to allow the exemption of toxicological testing from June 30th 2014 if safety assessment can fully demonstrate the safety of a domestic-made product, many companies were therefore confused about how to prepare the safety assessment report due to lack of related specific guidelines. With the issuance of this guidance, the situation is expected to change soon. During the webinar, regulatory toxicologist Cindy Xie from Cosmetic Division of Reach24h Consulting Group will give an in-depth interpretation of the guidance and share with us her practical advice and experience on the application.
