Toothpaste is among the cosmetics industry for the first time!
One of the highlights of the Regulations on the Supervision and Administration of Cosmetics is that for the first time, toothpaste will be managed with reference to the regulations on ordinary cosmetics.
Article 77 of the Regulations states: "Toothpaste is managed in accordance with the provisions of the Regulations concerning general cosmetics. After the toothpaste filing person conducts efficacy evaluations in accordance with national standards and industry standards, it can claim that toothpaste has anti-caries, plaque inhibition, and anti-dentin Sensitive, reduce gum problems, etc."
Is toothpaste a cosmetic? Here we have to look at the definition of cosmetics.
According to the regulations, cosmetics refer to daily chemical industrial products that are applied to skin, hair, nails, lips, and other human surfaces by scrubbing, spraying, or other similar methods, for the purpose of cleaning, protection, beautification, and modification.
At the same time, the regulations also divide cosmetics into special cosmetics and ordinary cosmetics according to the degree of risk. The state implements registration management for special cosmetics and filing management for ordinary cosmetics. Cosmetics used for hair coloring, perming, freckle whitening, sun protection, anti-hair loss, and cosmetics that claim new effects are special cosmetics.

From this, toothpaste not only belongs to cosmetics, but also belongs to the category of "ordinary cosmetics".
However, from the perspective of management practice, toothpaste products are unique from ordinary cosmetics, such as raw material management, efficacy claims, and label management.
The relevant person in charge of the Cosmetics Supervision Department of the State Food and Drug Administration said that in the next step, the drug regulatory department will study and formulate corresponding supporting documents based on the characteristics and actual conditions of toothpaste, and report to the market supervision and administration department of the State Council for review and release.
No bragging! Cosmetics must not promote medical effects
After 28 days of use, my skin is 12 years younger? A week of whitening is like a new life? Can even use cosmetics to cure diseases? In the current cosmetics market in my country, the problem of exaggerating the efficacy of cosmetics is more prominent, and has also been criticized by consumers.
"The efficacy claims of cosmetics should have sufficient scientific basis." The regulations require that cosmetics registrants and filers should publish the literature, research data or product efficacy evaluation data on which the efficacy claims are based on the special website prescribed by the State Council's drug regulatory authority. Abstract, accept social supervision.
In addition, the regulations also make it clear that cosmetics labels are prohibited from indicating or implying content that has a medical effect, is false or misleading. The requirements for cosmetic ads also mention that cosmetic ads must not express or imply that the product has a medical effect, must not contain false or misleading content, and must not deceive or mislead consumers.
There is no place other than "examples"! Real-name system for cosmetics e-commerce
In the past, there were "6.18" beauty care products with a total network sales of 43.47 billion yuan, ranking third in all major categories, and then "lipstick one brother" Li Jiaqi took Shanghai account as a special talent. Online shopping for cosmetics has become a new consumer trend with online e-commerce, short video, and other popular online shopping methods.

The regulations also set out to supervise the online sales of cosmetics, making it clear that e-commerce platform operators should register real-name cosmetics operators within the platform and assume management responsibility for cosmetics operators within the platform. The cosmetics operators on the platform shall fully, truthfully, accurately and timely disclose the information of the cosmetics they operate.
According to the regulations, if the e-commerce platform finds that the cosmetics operators on the platform have violated the provisions of these regulations, it shall promptly stop and report the drug supervision and administration department of the people's government of the province, autonomous region, or municipality directly under the Central Government where the e-commerce platform operator is located; The provision of e-commerce platform services to illegal cosmetics operators should be stopped immediately.
"Whether it is an e-commerce platform or live streaming, online is just a sales channel, and cosmetics need to be produced, stored, transported, and distributed offline," said Yang Zhanxin, deputy director of the Comprehensive Planning Department of the Hebei Province Market Supervision Bureau, considering the online transaction model. With strong concealment, in order to avoid the formation of regulatory blind spots, the relevant regulations of the Regulations place the responsibility for cosmetics quality and safety on the ground, who is responsible for the products who are responsible, and who is responsible for the products that are sold.
Implement corporate responsibility! First mention of registrants and record holders
A few days ago, the heads of the Ministry of Justice, the General Administration of Market Supervision, and the Food and Drug Administration responded to the "Cosmetic Supervision and Administration Regulations", saying that the overall safety risk of cosmetics is not high, but it directly affects the human body and is related to the health and safety of the people. Can not be ignored.
At present, there are more than 70,000 enterprises in my country's cosmetics registration, of which more than 5,000 have production licenses. According to incomplete statistics, more than 90% of enterprises use commissioned methods to organize production, and more than 75% of products are commissioned products.
Due to historical reasons, in the relevant regulations of cosmetics supervision, the main body of corporate responsibility is often expressed as "manufacturing company" "producer" or "cosmetics producer" "cosmetics sub-packer" "cosmetic operator", not only the expression is not uniform, each It is not clear what kind of responsibilities the participants of production and business activities should bear in terms of product quality and safety.

The regulations are based on the actual situation of my country's cosmetics industry, and draw on the experience of medicines, medical devices and international management, and put forward the system of registrants and filers for the first time.
In the future, cosmetics registrants and registrants will put products on the market in their own name, declare responsibility for the quality, safety and efficacy of cosmetics, and bear the main responsibility for the quality and safety of registered and registered products.
The relevant person in charge of the Cosmetics Supervision Department of the State Food and Drug Administration said that this will increase the entry threshold for cosmetics manufacturers and operators as a whole, guide and standardize the production and operation behaviors of small and medium-sized enterprises, and match them with the responsibility of taking product quality and safety. The quality and safety management capabilities, risk monitoring and adverse reaction monitoring capabilities have promoted the stable, orderly and standardized development of the industry. (Finish)
