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.

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.
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.
