A California Court has ruled that Proposition 65 warning required in California for products containing a specific form of Titanium Dioxide could be misleading. California OEHHA proposes setting safe exposure levels for titanium dioxide.
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, also known as Proposition 65 (Prop 65), requires California businesses to provide clear and reasonable warnings to consumers before knowingly and intentionally exposing them to chemicals listed by the state as the cause of cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. The Prop 65 list, first published in 1987 and updated at least once a year, now includes around 900 chemicals.

Under the current regulatory framework, cosmetics registrants and notifiers can continue to submit a simplified version of the safety assessment report during the registration or notification process until May 1, 2025. Following this deadline, a full version of the safety assessment will be mandated. To facilitate a smooth transition, China is planning to release a set of technical guidelines.

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.
