We began researching the cosmetics industry with the publication of the "Technical Specification for Cosmetics Safety." As regulations and standards were released and implemented, various documents and requirements became more complete and systematic, further standardizing China's cosmetics compliance work and raising higher demands for cosmetics to be launched and sold in China.
We have been accumulating technology and have gained a wealth of compliance experience over the years. In this year, we established an independent brand company for operation. We launched a list query tool based on INCI2018 to replace the INCI2010 version, including the 2015 version of IECIC and prohibited and restricted substances.
From May 1st onwards, we need to provide a simplified version of the safety assessment report. The IECIC2021 version was released in the 62nd announcement on April 27th, replacing the IECIC2015 version. The 74th announcement released on May 26th also updated the list of prohibited and restricted substances in the 2015 version of the Technical Specification for Cosmetics Safety. We immediately added this data to the search engine.
From May 1st onwards, products must provide a complete safety assessment report. We are exploring ways to digitize and informatize this process to balance safety and efficacy and improve the efficiency of formula safety assessment work. We are working towards this goal.
