China is the world’s second largest beauty market—a position just reaffirmed by the latest data from the National Medical Products Administration (NMAP). There are currently over 5,400 licensed cosmetic manufacturers, more than 87,000 legal entities (registered/recorded) in cosmetic domain, and nearly 1.6 million valid registered cosmetic products in China; the data was revealed during a recent video press conference by NMAP.
Immense changes are also expected in the market, with the new regulations (RSAC, Regulations on Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics) coming into force on January 1 this year. During the press conference, the officials made clarifications on some notable regulation changes, including streamlined processes (record-keeping notification) for general use cosmetics marketing and selling, a risk-based management system of cosmetic ingredients, along with stricter regulatory oversight regarding online cosmetic selling.
In order to ensure effective implementation of RSAC, guidance documents have been quick to follow. The latest ones are List of Prohibited Cosmetic Ingredients (Draft for Comments) and List of Prohibited Plant (Animal) Cosmetic Ingredients (Draft for Comments) released by National Institute for Food and Drug Control last week.
Overall, the quality control and safety assessment of cosmetics still are and will be the top priority of the authority.
