After the State Administration of Market Regulation, the Health Commission, and the General Administration of Customs jointly issued a document calling for the suspension of gold foil food, lately, Guangdong National Medical Devices Administration (Guangdong NMPA) issued a consumer warning article regards to the Gold Cosmetics. Please see the following translation and CosmeticsBridge suggestions.
Although the heavy metals “gold” and “platinum powder” have not been included in the list of prohibited raw materials for cosmetics, it does not mean that the relevant raw materials can be used in cosmetics at will.
“Preservative-Free” cosmetics are at the edge of the cliff in China.
CosmeticsBridge Alerts
According to the insight of the CosmeticsBridge, the filing/Notification of China cosmetics brand’s new Skin Rejuvenating product was just rejected by the National Medical Products Administration(NMPA). The rejection opinions show “it is a water-based formula, but no permitted use preservatives are added, which may lead to the risk of spoilage and deterioration of the product during the shelf life. Please provide additional evidence to ensure product quality during the shelf life. “.
It should be noted that the “preservatives” mentioned in the rejection feedback refer to “permitted use preservatives”. In December 2015, China FDA (Now NMPA) issued the “Cosmetics Safety Technical Standards” (2015 Edition) in which Chapter 3, Table 4, is a list of preservatives for use in China, and a total of 51 preservatives are included. In the list, it is clearly defined the types of preservatives, the maximum allowable concentration, the scope of use, restrictions, and labeling requirements
The “Preservatives Free” claim on the market today mainly refers to the products without the above-mentioned permitted preservatives, but in fact, other ingredients have the same functions as so-called “off-table preservatives”.
In order to further improve the technical standards of cosmetics, our institute has organized the compilation of “Testing Methods of 40 Raw Materials such as Ethyl Acrylate in Cosmetics (Draft for Comment)”
and “Test Methods for 24 Raw Materials such as CI59040 in Cosmetics”Testing Methods (Draft for Comments)”
and “Testing Methods for 8 Raw Materials such as Thioglycolic Acid in Cosmetics (Draft for Comments)” (Appendix 1-3) are now open to the public for comments.
For feedback, please fill in the Feedback Form (Appendix 4) and send an email to [email protected] before July 31, 2022.
