Since the implementation of the CSAR, as of August 7, 2024, 173 new ingredients have been filed. This indicates that the new risk classification management model for cosmetic ingredients has significantly accelerated the filing process for non-high-risk new ingredients. The introduction of a 3-year monitoring period shifts the responsibility for safety monitoring from the government to the registrant and filer, while also providing companies with a certain level of protection for their investments in technological innovation. CIRS Group will host a free webinar on August 29, 2024, to discuss the latest regulatory requirements for new cosmetic ingredients in China. This webinar aims to introduce the updated regulatory system and compliance requirements to companies, helping you successfully complete the filing process and bring more innovative ingredients to the Chinese market.
