guidelines for submission of cosmetic safety assessment data

this guide combines the risk levels of various types of cosmetics and the key focus areas in the safety assessment data to refine the classification of cosmetics; based on risk management principles and considering the operation of product and corporate quality management systems, it categorizes the circumstances under which cosmetic safety assessment data is submitted; and it establishes key points for self-inspection of cosmetic safety assessment reports to provide guidance for enterprises to accurately and standardly submit safety assessment data.

technical guidelines for identification and assessment of risk substances in cosmetics

the safety risk substances in cosmetics may originate from or be introduced during the production, transportation, and storage processes of cosmetic ingredients and packaging materials. exposure to these substances could potentially pose health risks to humans. conducting a comprehensive hazard identification and assessment of potential safety risk substances in cosmetics can effectively evaluate the potential risks of the products.

usage information for ingredients in marketed products

this information on ingredient usage is an objective record of the amounts used in special cosmetics within the validity period of their approvals in china, which are not included in the "safety and technical standards for cosmetics" and for which there are no authoritative assessment reports.
