China Cosmetics Registration Market

Cosmetic Registration in the Chinese cosmetics market, imports far exceed exports. The huge consumption prospects have prompted global companies to sell their products to the Chinese market. In addition, China's reduction of import tariffs on cosmetics has increased the willingness of foreign companies to export products to China. At present, the increasing number of imported products and brands in the Chinese market has also promoted the consumption of imported products by Chinese consumers and further promoted the import of cosmetic products.

China's Cosmetic Regulations Definition

Cosmetic products refer to the daily use of chemical products intended to be applied on the external part of the human body (such as skin, hair, nails, lips, etc.) by spreading, spraying, or other similar ways for cleansing, protecting, beautifying, or grooming purposes.

Cosmetics Classification

According to the degree of risk, cosmetics can be divided into special cosmetics and general cosmetics. Cosmetics used for hair dyeing, perming, freckle and whitening, sunscreen, anti-hair loss, and cosmetics claiming new efficacy are special cosmetics. General cosmetics include skin care, hair care, nail care products, makeup, and perfumes, etc.

All imported cosmetics for the purpose of sale must be approved or filed by the China National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) in advance (non-special cosmetics), otherwise, normal customs clearance cannot be carried out, and they cannot be sold in the Chinese mainland market.

Cosmetic Registration SERVICE PROCESS

China currently only implements record management for imported non-special use cosmetics for the first time, while special category cosmetics still adopt the administrative licensing registration system. Therefore, the classification and judgment of imported products is the primary issue.

China's requirement for cosmetic formulations is to label all ingredients, but the requirements for the safety of raw materials are different at home and abroad. Some ingredients are available abroad, but they cannot be directly applied in China. Therefore, it is very important to correctly interpret China's requirements for formulas, packaging, instructions, and other regulations.

The European Union took the lead in the global ban on animal testing of cosmetics in March 2013. Countries such as Norway, New Zealand, Israel, and India have banned animal testing of cosmetics, while in China, mandatory animal testing has been removed only for domestic non-special cosmetics. During the approval process for the record of imported cosmetics, animal experiments are still a must.
