In September, 2025, during the Annual Conference & Expo (CAME) organized by the China Association of Fragrance, Flavor and Cosmetic Industries (CAFFCI) in Nanjing, representatives from cosmetics companies met with officials from China regulatory authorities to discuss the draft Opinions on Deepening the Reform of Cosmetic Administration and Promoting High-Quality Development of the Industry (released for public consultation on September 19).
