Taiwan FDA to Ban Specific Estrogens in Cosmetics

Two months ago, "Taiwan Food and Drug Administration" announced a draft amendment to ban the use of estradiol, estrone and ethinyl estradiol in cosmetics from July 2016. Minister of Health and Welfare Chiang Been-huang said the FDA would evaluate the possibility of moving up the commencement date to March when he was questioned about the schedule for enforcement of that policy.
