Since the implementation of the Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulation (CSAR) in 2021, China has adopted a classified management approach for new cosmetic ingredients (NCIs) based on their risk levels. High-risk NCIs require registration, while low- and medium-risk NCIs can be notified through online dossier submissions, streamlining market entry. China is continually issuing new regulations and guidelines to clarify the requirements for NCI registration and notification.
Chemlinked team summarizes and analyzes non-compliance cases and their causes in cosmetic industry worldwide. By examining these real-world cases, we aim to provide warnings to cosmetics companies and encourage them to improve their product quality, thereby ensuring consumer safety and promoting sustainable development of the beauty industry.
The current cosmetic technical standard STSC 2015 specifies the cosmetics' general safety standards, prohibited/restricted/permitted ingredients and testing methods. It is revised aperiodically in response to changing trade practices in the industry. China is planning to issue a new version of STSC.
