Guangzhou Daily News (all-media reporter Liu Ranran) Recently, the State Food and Drug Administration announced the "Administrative Measures for Cosmetics Registration (Draft for Comments)" and "Measures for the Supervision and Management of Cosmetics Production and Operation (Draft for Comments)." The new regulations plan to establish a traceability mechanism for cosmetic raw materials, prohibit arbitrary exaggeration of efficacy, must publish evaluation data for supervision, and introduce "prohibition of employment" to provide full coverage of illegal situations.
Multiple brands were exposed to false publicity
Industry data shows that at present, the market scale of my country's cosmetics industry has reached 300 billion yuan, making it the second largest market in the world. However, the industry needs to be further regulated:
In April of this year, the media disclosed that a new product called "Sakura Color Essence" launched by "Shiseido" was questioned and falsely claimed the product's efficacy: "7 days to witness the whitening of the cherry blossom skin" and "to witness the 7 days of whitening"; 6 In May, Fan Mi Lin was exposed by China Quality Miles to "false propaganda" and "substitution processing", and even pointed out that the three whitening and spot-lightening products advertised by the brand could not be found in the domestic special-purpose cosmetics on the official website of China Food and Drug Administration; and before that , Including Han Shu, L’Occitane, Clinique and other cosmetics have been involved in false claims or exaggerated effects...
Since the beginning of this year, the State Food and Drug Administration has successively announced "Notice on 31 batches of substandard cosmetics" and "Notice on 34 batches of substandard cosmetics", etc., successively exposing a large number of substandard cosmetics.
Regulatory authorities in various regions have also successively exposed some products that do not have or should not have ingredients but have added a bunch of them. For example, the total number of bacterial colonies in facial masks exceeds the limit by thousands of times, sunscreens do not contain sunscreen ingredients, and glucocorticoids are added to face creams.
Strengthen the traceability management requirements for cosmetic raw materials
The reporter found that the draft published this time, in accordance with the concept of full supervision, strengthened the traceability management requirements for cosmetic raw materials. If the consultation draft requires cosmetics registrants and recorders to clarify the source of raw materials and their quality specifications when handling cosmetics registration and filing, if the subsequent source of raw materials or raw material quality specifications change, they shall conduct a safety assessment and update the relevant registration records Information strengthens the supervision of the whole process from raw materials to finished products.
For this reason, the draft for comments specifically adds requirements for cosmetic efficacy claims. The State Food and Drug Administration stated that the draft for comment stipulates that “registrants and record holders of cosmetics shall publish the literature, research data or summary of efficacy evaluation materials on which the efficacy claims are based on the special website specified by the drug regulatory department of the State Council, and accept social supervision.” .
