FAQs Vol. 22 | China NIFDC Answers Questions About Cosmetic Labels, Children’s Cosmetics and Microneedle Products

Efficacy claims on the product labels should align with claims specified under the classification code, as outlined in the Cosmetic Registration and Notification Application Form. The claims on the product label shall not exceed the scope covered by the classification code. For example, if the classification code only includes the claim “moisturizing,” the product label can state moisturizing-related claims such as “moisturizing,” “reducing moisture loss,” or “relieving dry skin.” However, claims outside the moisturizing scope, such as “firming” or “soothing” are not allowed.
