Three Cosmetic Ingredients Including Lauroyl Alanine Added to the "Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients in China (IECIC)"

On October 20, 2025, the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) announced the second dynamic update to the Inventory of Existing Cosmetic Ingredients in China (hereinafter referred to as the "IECIC"). Three cosmetic ingredients—Lauroyl Alanine, Polymethylsilsesquioxane/Trimethylsiloxy Silicate, and Bis-Cetyl/Stearyl Amodimethicone—have completed their three-year safety monitoring period as new cosmetic ingredients. After evaluation, they were found to comply with the Cosmetics Supervision and Administration Regulation and other relevant provisions, and have now been officially included in IECIC II. In addition, IECIC I has been updated to standardize the Chinese names and/or INCI/English names of certain ingredients. To enhance transparency and public participation, a new "Revision Suggestions" feature has been added to the IECIC online query platform, allowing industry stakeholders and the public to submit feedback. The NMPA will carefully review and consider the collected suggestions to continuously improve and update the IECIC.
