On December 26, 2025, China's National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) released the draft revision of the Provisions for Management of New Cosmetic Ingredient Registration and Notification Dossiers for public consultation. The consultation period runs from December 26, 2025, to January 25, 2026, and feedback can be submitted via email to hzpjgyc@nmpa.gov.cn.
The Provisions for Management of New Cosmetic Ingredient Registration and Notification Dossiers, in effect since May 1, 2021, provide key guidance for the registration and notification of new cosmetic ingredients in China. Before their implementation, approved new ingredients were very limited, and some internationally widely used ingredients could not be used domestically, constraining innovation in China's cosmetics sector. Since 2021, three new cosmetic ingredients have been approved for registration, while 371 have been recorded through the notification process. In 2025 alone, two ingredients were registered and publicly announced, and 164 were notified.
