Requirements for Registration and Review of Cosmetics under CSAR

The Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulations (CSRA, State Order No. 727) were issued on June 29, 2020, and officially implemented on January 1, 2021. This is the first time in 30 years that the cosmetics Hygiene Supervision Regulations have been completely revised. Then a series of secondary regulations have been launched, to regulate cosmetics in all aspects, including cosmetics classification, labeling, efficacy claims, production and operation, quality management, registration and filing, adverse reaction monitoring, safety information of used cosmetics raw materials, and registration and filing of new cosmetics raw materials. In this wave of regulation upgrading, cosmetic enterprises are facing great challenges.
